Best for enterprise teams that join systems and add agents on top
Tray is an integration platform with agent tools, from $50 a workspace a month on the Builder edition, with usage at $1.00 a unit. Its iPaaS plans have no published price, and the agent builder and MCP gateway are add-ons.
Who Tray.ai is for
- Fits if you join many business systems and want agents on them
- Makes sense if you want a card-free trial to measure your own usage
Who Tray.ai is not for
- Pricey if usage grows, as past the plan it is $1.00 per compute unit at list
- Not for you if you want iPaaS prices, because a quote is built from expected Task usage
- Watch out: the agent builder and MCP gateway are add-ons, not in the base plans
- Watch out: on Team, HIPAA, SSO and regional hosting are add-ons

Keep Tray.ai, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Tray.ai you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $600 a year.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: audit logs.
What this rests on. Tray.ai’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Tray.ai?
Tray.ai combines an integration and automation platform (iPaaS) with Merlin, an agent builder, and an MCP gateway for governed agent tool access. Its Helix product is aimed at deploying and governing apps that teams build with AI coding assistants. Pricing follows usage rather than seats, and the iPaaS plans are quoted individually.
Worth knowing
- The iPaaS plans have no published prices; a quote is built from expected Task usage, and usage above the plan is settled at a true-up.
- Merlin Agent Builder and Agent Gateway for MCP are add-ons, not included in the base plans.
- On Team, HIPAA, SSO, regional hosting and on-premise connectivity are add-ons; Enterprise includes them.
- Helix usage beyond the plan is billed at $1.00 per HCU at list.
