About
Inngest is a workflow orchestration platform for durable execution of backend code, background jobs, endpoints, and AI agents. It wraps functions in steps to add retries, recovery, throttling, batching, prioritization, replay, cancellation, traces, and metrics without requiring separate worker infrastructure.
The platform supports local development with a CLI dev server, SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Go, and Kotlin, and deployment across edge, serverless, and traditional environments. The free Hobby plan includes 50,000 executions per month, 5 concurrent steps, 50 realtime connections, 3 users, 100,000 events per month, 3 workers, unlimited branch and staging environments, logs and traces, and basic alerting.

Free Tier Value
The cheapest paid plan is Pro at $75/mo, while the free Hobby tier includes 50,000 executions, 5 concurrent steps, 50 realtime connections, 3 users, plus logs/traces/observability and basic alerting. That is roughly 5% of Pro’s execution quota (50k vs 1M) and about 5% of its concurrency (5 vs 100), but it keeps many core product features, so a buyer would likely value it at about one-third of Pro; using that practical ratio gives about $25/mo. The free tier is also no-credit-card, which lowers friction and makes the free offering meaningfully usable for small projects, but it is still clearly capped and below the paid plan’s scale and retention.
