Workato Free and Workato Pro use the same usage-based model as the rest of Workato, measured in **Workato credits**, a shared billing unit that covers every capability. ## Plans Workato Free and Workato Pro give you access to the same platform capabilities, but they differ in credit volume, billing cadence, and cost. | Plan | Credits | Billing | | --- | --- | --- | | Workato Free | 50,000-credit one-time grant | Free | | Workato Pro | 2,500–50,000 credits/month, recurring | Monthly, paid by credit card | ### Credit limits Workato Pro offers several monthly credit limit options. You can select your credit limit when you sign up for a Workato Pro account. | Monthly price | Credit limit | | --- | --- | | $75/month | 2,500 credits/month | | $100/month | 3,500 credits/month | | $275/month | 10,000 credits/month | | $780/month | 30,000 credits/month | | $1,275/month | 50,000 credits/month | > **NO CREDIT ROLLOVER** > > Unused Workato Pro credits expire at the end of the billing month and don't roll over. Refer to [Workato Enterprise editions](https://www.workato.com/pricing) for capabilities beyond what Workato Free and Workato Pro include. ## Usage Self-service uses the same usage-based billing model as other Workato plans, which measures **usage** in **Workato credits**. Usage reflects the amount of activity across your workspace. A **Workato credit** is a single, common billing unit used across every capability. Any capability you use draws from your credit balance, whether you're running workflows, processing documents, or running an agent. Refer to [How usage is measured](/en/pricing/overview#how-usage-is-measured) for the shared billing model, and [Understand usage](/en/pricing/usage-metrics) for the full list of metrics and calculation rules. ## Sign up for a Workato Free or Pro plan Complete the following steps to sign up for Workato Free or Workato Pro: 1.
