• Tight if you hit 20 workflows on Joy or 50 on Bliss
• Watch out: custom reports, public form approval and some AI features are priced outside the package

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: complex apps may need the vendor's paid services

Cflow

• Custom reports, public form approval and some AI features are marked as priced outside the package.
• Additional AI credits are sold at 10,000 credits for $20.

Kissflow

• No prices are published; the pricing page points to a custom quote and mentions user-based pricing with transaction tiers.
• The marketing is aimed at enterprises, with little to help individuals or very small teams judge cost.
• Complex apps may need the vendor's paid services.
