About Gumloop

Gumloop is a no-code platform for building AI-powered automations and agents on a drag-and-drop canvas, wiring LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google into everyday business workflows. It's aimed at ops, growth, and RevOps teams at companies like Shopify, Ramp, and Instacart who want agents without engineering support. There's no free plan anymore: Pro starts at $37/month for 20,000 credits with unlimited seats and a 14-day free trial; Enterprise is custom.

Pros

Purpose-built for AI-first workflows — LLM steps are native, not bolted on
Unlimited seats on Pro ($37/mo) undercuts per-seat rivals for teams
100+ hosted MCP servers connect your agents and assistants with zero setup
Logic, filters, and loop steps cost zero credits

Cons

The permanent free plan was discontinued in July 2026 — a 14-day trial is all that's left
Advanced AI models burn 20–30+ credits per call, draining the 20,000 monthly allowance fast
Costs scale steeply on the credit slider — from $37 up to $1,840/month for a million credits
Far fewer native integrations than Zapier's 9,000+ apps

Our verdict

Best for: Ops and growth teams who want to build real AI agents visually without engineering support.

Skip if: You mainly need plain app-to-app syncing — Zapier or Make do that cheaper with vastly more integrations.

Our review

Gumloop is what automation looks like when you start from the LLM instead of retrofitting one. The canvas treats AI steps as first-class nodes — pick an OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google model per step, pipe outputs between apps, and wrap the result as an agent a non-engineer can run. The 100+ hosted MCP servers are a quietly big deal: the same connections your flows use become tools for Claude or Cursor with zero setup. Customer logos like Shopify, Ramp, and Instacart, plus a $50M Benchmark-led Series B in early 2026, say enterprises are buying it.

The economics need eyes-open math. July 2026 killed the permanent free plan, so evaluation now runs on a 14-day trial, and the credit system punishes the good models — at 20–30+ credits per advanced call, a 20,000-credit month evaporates under a serious daily workflow. Scaling the slider toward $1,840/month closes much of the gap to hiring out the work. Zapier remains far broader for vanilla integrations, and n8n is dramatically cheaper for the technically inclined.

Verdict: the strongest pick for no-code AI agents today, especially for ops teams that want unlimited seats and enterprise compliance. Budget for credits honestly, and stick with Zapier or Make if your automations are mostly moving data between apps.

What reviewers elsewhere say

85% positive — Early adopters praise how quickly non-engineers ship real AI workflows and the responsive team; gripes focus on credit burn with premium models and a steeper learning curve than Zapier.

What to watch for

Cost scales with flow width, which is invisible until you run it at volume
No free plan, so evaluation costs money up front
Connected-app credentials are held to run flows unattended

How it bills

Credits. One task here means one flow run → a completed multi-step workflow across your connected apps. Each node run spends credits and AI nodes cost more than plain ones, so a wide flow is far more expensive per run than a narrow one.

Agent capabilities checked August 2026. Not hands-on tested — these are the vendor's documented capabilities, read carefully. Limits and permissions change between checks, so confirm approval settings and any spending cap before you connect an account. Compare every AI agent.

Frequently asked questions

What is Gumloop?

Gumloop is a no-code AI automation platform: a drag-and-drop canvas where you chain triggers, app integrations, logic, and LLM steps into workflows and autonomous agents, without writing code.

How much does Gumloop cost?

Pro starts at $37/month for 20,000 credits (7,400 base + 12,600 bonus) with unlimited seats, scaling by credit volume up to about $1,840/month for 1M credits/year. Enterprise is custom. There's a 14-day free trial but no permanent free plan since July 2026.

How do Gumloop credits work?

Every flow run consumes credits per node: logic, filters, and loops are free, simple actions cost 1–3 credits, standard AI model calls about 2, advanced models 20, and expert models 30+. Heavy operations can run 10–60+ credits.

Does Gumloop have an API?

Yes — a public API (api.gumloop.com) with Python and JavaScript SDKs lets you start flows programmatically, and Gumloop hosts 100+ MCP servers so assistants like Claude can use your connections directly.

Gumloop vs Zapier — which should I use?

Zapier wins on breadth (9,000+ integrations) and simple app-to-app syncing. Gumloop wins when AI is the point — multi-step LLM workflows, agents, and MCP access — and its unlimited seats make it cheaper for whole teams doing AI work.
