Yes, Windmill has a permanent free tier alongside its paid plans. The free plan includes 3 workspaces, up to 50 users, and up to 4 groups for granular permissions. FreeTier.co estimates the free tier at about $45/mo, and no credit card is required to sign up.
About
Windmill is a code-first orchestration platform for internal software. It combines scripts, workflows, internal apps, data pipelines, scheduled tasks, and AI agents in one workspace, with Git-based collaboration and self-hosting options.
The free offering is the open-source self-hosted edition. It includes unlimited executions, up to 3 workspaces, up to 50 users, up to 4 groups, 10 GiB of workspace object storage, community support on Discord, and up to 10 SSO users. The free tier also supports deployment on Docker, Fargate, or Kubernetes, GitHub deploys, Git sync for up to 2 users, PostgreSQL and WebSocket triggers, and workflows as code v2.
Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable monthly offering with no expiration, and it includes unlimited executions plus several core collaboration and trigger features. Compared with the cheapest paid option shown at $120/mo, it keeps most of the practical platform value but caps workspaces, users, groups, storage, SSO, and support, so a fair estimate is about $45/month—roughly 38% of Enterprise's starting price.
