Overview

Albato is a no-code iPaaS for connecting apps and building automations, including AI workflows. It suits teams that need broad app coverage and multi-step logic, as well as SaaS providers embedding integrations in their products. Its free plan is useful for small experiments, but transaction caps and update intervals make plan fit an important part of the decision.

Key features

Albato combines more than 1,000 native integrations with 20,000+ actions across areas such as CRM, HR, marketing, accounting, and productivity. Automations start with a trigger and can continue through multiple actions, filters, and built-in tools. Conditional logic supports workflows that branch or apply rules rather than simply passing data from one app to another.

Webhook triggers can run instantly; API-based triggers poll at intervals that vary by plan. That distinction matters for time-sensitive work: a webhook-based flow can react immediately, while polling may introduce a wait. The free plan's 15-minute update interval is a material constraint; Pro shortens it to five minutes, Teams to three, and Custom to one.

Albato AI, Copilot, and automation AI agents are designed to build or run workflows from natural-language goals. The App Integrator lets users add an app themselves if it has a public API, giving technical teams a route beyond the native catalog. For SaaS companies, Albato Embedded supports white-label integrations and AI agents through an iFrame, API, or MCP.

Albato states that it has SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit, per-tenant isolation, and regular penetration testing. It advertises a 99.9% uptime SLA, with retries, error handling, and monitoring. Automation logs are retained for 60 days, and a GDPR-compliant opt-out is available.

Pricing

Albato offers a free plan, paid subscriptions, and custom pricing. The free plan costs $0.00 USD and includes 100 transactions, five active automations, two steps per automation, unlimited apps and connections, seven-day log storage, and a 15-minute automation update. It can cover a small, low-frequency workflow, but the transaction and automation caps leave little room for a growing workload.

Pro costs $22.00 USD per month when billed monthly, or $15/mo billed annually, and includes 1,000 transactions, unlimited automations and steps, access to 1,000+ apps, 30-day log storage, and five-minute updates. The plan supports up to 2M transactions. Its seven-day trial gives teams a short window to assess fit; live chat support has a stated five-minute response time. Pro is the practical step up for users who have outgrown the free caps or need longer retention and faster polling, though annual billing is required for the lower monthly rate.

Teams costs $93.00 USD per month, or $65/mo billed annually. It is marked Coming soon and starts from 5K transactions, with five team seats, shared workspaces and projects, priority support, and three-minute updates. It is aimed at collaborative teams, but its availability is a consideration for anyone planning a near-term rollout.

Custom has custom pricing, flexible transaction limits, unlimited automations and steps, one-minute updates, and 60-day log storage. It is the option for workloads that need more tailored capacity or the shortest stated API polling interval.

Platforms

Albato is available on the web and through an API. Its Embedded API is hosted at api.albato.com and exchanges data in JSON. The platform's iFrame, API, and MCP embedding options make it relevant to SaaS teams that want to offer integrations under their own brand, not only to internal automation users.

Who it's for

Albato fits teams that want a large integration catalog, multi-step no-code workflows, and a way to add apps with public APIs when a native connector is missing. Its AI workflow features may appeal to teams looking to create automations from natural-language goals. SaaS providers should consider Embedded for white-label integrations and AI agents. It is less suited to workflows that need generous free transaction volume or rapid polling without moving to a paid plan.

Pros and cons

Broad connector coverage: 1,000+ native integrations and 20,000+ actions give teams a wide starting point across business app categories.
Flexible workflow logic: Multi-step automations, filters, conditional logic, and built-in tools support more than basic one-trigger/one-action connections.
Options for custom and embedded integrations: The App Integrator can extend coverage to public APIs, while Embedded supports white-label delivery through iFrame, API, or MCP.
Strict free-plan ceilings: 100 transactions, five active automations, two steps per automation, and 15-minute updates limit the free plan to modest use.
Paid cost rises for team features: Teams is $93.00 USD monthly or $65/mo annually, starts from 5K transactions, and is marked Coming soon.
Polling speed depends on tier: API triggers update every 15 minutes on Free and every five minutes on Pro; faster intervals require higher tiers.

Alternatives

Consider Make if its free plan's 1,000 credits per month and two active scenarios suit a small workflow better than Albato's 100-transaction, five-automation allowance; Make's free interval is 15 minutes. Choose Activepieces if self-hosting is important: it supports self-hosted deployment and offers a free plan with 1,000 monthly credits and unlimited flows, though its free tier is for one user and has community support. IFTTT is another freemium option with a free plan for two Applets, standard speeds, and unlimited Applet runs.

Verdict

Albato is a strong fit for teams that need broad app connectivity, conditional multi-step workflows, or white-label integrations without building every connection from scratch. Its connector range and embedding options are compelling; its free plan is tightly capped, and faster API polling and collaborative features sit behind higher tiers. Choose it when those capabilities match the workload, and look elsewhere if low-cost transaction volume is the priority.
