# Is Gumloop Free? No Free Plan, a 14-Day Trial With a Card > Gumloop has no free plan. New accounts get a one-time 14-day Pro trial that needs a card and converts to Pro at $37 a month unless you cancel in time. _Source: https://professionalstoolkit.com/articles/is-gumloop-free — The Professional's Toolkit · updated November 2026_ --- No. Gumloop has no free plan today. Its pricing page shows two plans, Pro and Enterprise, and the only way in without paying at once is a one-time 14-day Pro trial that asks for a card and turns into paid Pro unless you cancel before it ends [1]. After that, Pro costs $37 a month for the whole organization's shared pool of 20,000 credits, with unlimited agents, seats and teams. Enterprise is priced by contract through sales. So the honest answer is *free to try, never free to keep*. If you want something that stays free indefinitely, the free tiers of other tools covered below are the place to look, each with its own catch. **14 days** — One-time Pro trial: a card is required and it converts to paid Pro unless canceled. - **2 plans** — Pro and Enterprise: all Gumloop's pricing page lists - **$37 a month** — Pro after the trial, whole organization, 20,000 shared credits - **1 per customer** — 14-day Pro trial, card required, turns into paid Pro unless canceled ## The 14-day trial: a card up front, one shot per customer Every new Gumloop account starts on the same trial: 14 days of Pro, once per customer, with a card on file from the first day [2]. Nothing pauses at day 14. The trial rolls straight into a paid Pro subscription, and subscriptions renew automatically until someone cancels them. That design suits a buyer who already expects to pay and wants two weeks to prove the case. It punishes the casual tester who signs up, gets busy, and finds a charge at the end of the second week. Canceling during the trial stops the card from being charged. You do it from Manage Subscription on the Usage and Limits page, which opens Gumloop's Stripe billing portal. In an organization, only the Admin role can open that portal, so a teammate testing inside a shared account cannot cancel alone. Canceling is never immediate either: access continues to the end of the trial, which means you can cancel on day one and still keep the full two weeks. Under Gumloop's Terms, paid subscription fees are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise. > 💡 **Cancel early, keep the days:** Canceling during the trial stops the card charge, and access still runs to the end of the 14 days, so an early cancellation costs no trial time. The trial runs on Pro, the plan you would pay for, so what you build carries over. The Gumloop MCP server, which lets Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and other MCP clients use your agents, works on every account with an active subscription, trial included, and custom MCP servers work on any plan. Two weeks go fast. Starting from a [ready-made agent in Gumloop's gallery](/articles/gumloop-templates) or from Gumball, the personal agent every account gets, saves setup time, and our [guide to getting started with Gumloop](/articles/how-to-use-gumloop) lays out a sensible order for the first days. ## Why some search results call Gumloop free Gumloop's pricing page carries structured data written for search engines, and one offer in it is named Free plan with a zero price. Its description says, in substance, that a free 14-day trial is available. That offer is the trial. There is no free tier underneath it: the same card requirement and the same automatic switch to paid Pro apply. If a search snippet or an AI answer tells you Gumloop is free, check whether it is quoting that label. The visible page prints no free plan, only Pro with its trial and Enterprise. ## What $37 a month buys once the trial ends After the trial, the only self-serve option is Pro at $37 a month for the whole organization's shared pool of 20,000 credits [3]. The page prints it as a starting price, but no higher Pro option exists; spending more on Pro means overage. One credit is worth $0.005 at list price. By our arithmetic, $37 a month buys 7,400 credits at that rate, so 12,600 of the 20,000 are bonus credits and the full allotment is worth $100 at list price, or $1.85 per 1,000 included credits a month. Three rules shape what that pool means in practice. Credits reset every billing period and do not roll over, except on Enterprise. Gumloop's pricing page prints only a monthly Pro price; it shows no annual plan. And the cost of a run swings widely: Gumloop says the same agent can spend 2 credits on a quick question and 200 on a deep research task. Overage is off by default. Switched on, it bills $0.005 per credit, which is $5 per 1,000 by our arithmetic. On Pro, overage always stops at a cap. Our [Gumloop pricing breakdown](/articles/gumloop-pricing) walks through every cost line. > ⚠ **Agents stop when credits run out:** When Pro's 20,000 monthly credits are used up, agents and triggers stop until credits return; overage is off by default and, once on, capped on Pro. ## What costs nothing inside a paid account > **About these prices:** Prices shown are what Gumloop lists for visitors in the United States, in US dollars. Your price can differ by country, currency and local taxes such as VAT. Check your current price — Gumloop: https://api.colosus.site/go/gumloop?to=pricing No free plan does not mean every action spends credits. Gumloop bills model tokens, successful connector calls, active compute at 5 credits per session-minute and an 8% orchestration fee on top. Several things fall outside that meter. Knowing them helps a trial user read the chat details drawer, which lists each charge and shows waived lines struck through as Free. These are the items Gumloop's credits and help documentation name as free of charge: - Failed connector tool calls; only successful calls cost the 1-credit minimum. - Time an agent spends waiting for you, including browser handoffs for a login, a 2FA code or a CAPTCHA. - The routing decision made by Auto, Gumloop's model router; you pay only for the model that ran. - The agent browser's residential proxy, recordings and live view. - The free estimate run before a new Brain source is indexed, and any content you exclude from that source. - Reflection reviews that are skipped. - Static artifact files such as PDF, CSV and PNG, which do not keep billing after they are made. - Smart Inbox reply drafting while it is set to Off. Two choices lower the bill further without making it free. Gumloop says agents need no additional subscriptions or add-ons: tools such as Exa, Firecrawl, Apollo and DataForSEO run on its managed key and bill in credits, while a DataForSEO account of your own costs zero Gumloop credits. Your own model key, on Pro or higher, zeroes the token credits for the models that key's provider serves but raises the orchestration fee to 16% of the full list cost. That saves credits on token-heavy runs and can add credits on runs that are mostly tool calls or compute time. In the docs example, a 459-credit run (about $2.30 by our arithmetic) falls to 93 credits, about $0.47. > 💡 **Bring your own model key:** On Pro or higher, your own model key zeroes token credits for the models that key's provider serves, though the orchestration fee rises to 16% of the full list cost. It saves credits on token-heavy runs and can add credits on runs that are mostly tool calls or compute. ## Open source, self-hosting and the VPC route Gumloop is sold as a hosted service, and there is no self-hosted Gumloop for individuals. The closest option to running it yourself is the Enterprise VPC deployment, where Gumloop deploys and operates the platform inside your own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud environment, in a region you choose [4]. Enterprise customers running in their own VPC pay no compute credits. That route is a contract with custom pricing through sales, not a free download. It fits organizations with security or data-location requirements, not someone looking for a no-cost install. Gumloop does have a page titled for open-source AI models, and it lists open-weight models that agents can run. They are models, not Gumloop's code. Gumloop offers models from providers such as Z.ai, DeepSeek, Moonshot and MiniMax, served through Fireworks AI, OpenRouter or Vercel AI Gateway, and you can switch the model behind an agent at any time. Gumloop's own workshops cover using open models to cut token costs. The choice changes how many credits a run spends inside a paid account. It does not make the platform itself free or downloadable. ## Tools with a lasting free tier, and what each one limits If a free tier that never expires matters more than Gumloop's agent features, several tools in our catalog offer one. Each has a catch. n8n's Community Edition is free and self-hosted, which means you run and pay for the server yourself; its hosted Cloud plans start with a 14-day trial that needs no card. Zapier's Free plan gives 100 tasks a month but only two-step Zaps, and a new Zapier account also gets a 14-day Professional trial without a card. Both are built around workflow automation, with agent features of their own: n8n's AI agents are in Preview, and Zapier Agents has a free allowance of 400 activities a month. Weigh the job before the price. Make's Free plan allows up to 1,000 credits a month, 2 active scenarios and a 15-minute minimum interval between runs. Manus Free gives 300 refresh credits a day, usable only in Manus 2.0 Lite and capped at 1,500 a month, plus 1,000 credits once at sign-up. Genspark Free gives 100 credits a day up to a lifetime cap on free credits. These daily and monthly allowances suit learning and light use. None of them is Gumloop with a smaller meter, so run the same task you planned for Gumloop before you decide. ## FAQ **Does Gumloop train on content from a trial account?** Under Gumloop's Terms, content on Pro and Pro trials (which need a card and turn into paid Pro unless canceled) may be used to develop and train its own AI models. Enterprise is excluded unless the customer asks for it in writing. **What happens to my agents if I cancel?** After the cancellation date, plan access ends and the credit balance stops resetting, but agents, skills, Brain sources, chats and other data stay in the account. You can resubscribe at any time. **Can I start paying before the 14 days are up?** Yes. A trial user can subscribe and turn on credit overages straight from subscription settings, without waiting for the trial to end; left alone, the trial turns into paid Pro on its own unless canceled before it ends. **Can I pay by invoice instead of a card?** Not on self-serve Pro: it is paid by card through Gumloop's Stripe portal, which provides invoices and receipts as PDFs for your records. Paying against an invoice is the Enterprise route, under a contract. ## Who should start the Gumloop trial, and who should wait Start the trial when you have one specific agent to prove, the people to judge it inside 14 days, and a budget line for $37 a month if it works. Set the cancellation reminder on day one. The trial converts on its own, and under Gumloop's Terms paid fees are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise. Wait if you only want to explore AI agents without payment details on file, or if a monthly plan is not in the budget yet; one of the free tiers above lets you learn the basics without paying. Teams that need SSO, audit logs or a VPC should talk to Enterprise sales instead. ## Sources [1] Gumloop pricing — https://www.gumloop.com/pricing (2026-11) [2] Gumloop documentation: How do I cancel my plan or free trial? — https://docs.gumloop.com/help/account-billing/cancel-plan-or-trial (2026-11) [3] Credits — https://docs.gumloop.com/core-concepts/credits (2026-11) [4] Gumloop security — https://www.gumloop.com/solutions/security (2026-11) [5] Gumloop Terms of Service — https://www.gumloop.com/tos [6] G2: Gumloop reviews — https://www.g2.com/products/gumloop/reviews
