Workato is an enterprise platform for connecting applications and automating processes across a company. Its pricing page describes four editions (Standard, Business MCP, Enterprise MCP and Workato ONE) that add API management, data integration, document processing and an agent builder step by step. Prices are not published. - **Category:** Automation - **Made by:** Workato - **Website:** https://www.workato.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a price on the page: every edition is quoted through sales. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing Workato's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Application integration:** The Standard edition covers application integration and process automation, with recipe lifecycle management and separate development, test and production environments. - **MCP servers and gateway:** Business MCP adds pre-built MCP servers, an AI/MCP gateway and an Enterprise Skill builder on top of Standard. - **Data and API tools:** Business MCP also lists data integration (ETL, ELT, reverse ETL) and an API platform; Enterprise MCP adds data pipelines and event streams. - **Agent Studio:** Workato ONE, the top edition, adds Agent Studio, a knowledge base and an employee assistant with enterprise search. - **On-premise connectivity:** Higher editions include on-premise agents (OPAs): 3 in Business MCP, 10 in Enterprise MCP and 30 in Workato ONE. - **Security controls:** SAML SSO, MFA and role-based access control come with Standard; Enterprise MCP adds data masking, activity audit and hourly key rotation. ## Good for - Large companies connecting many business systems - Teams that want integration, API management and AI agents on one platform - Organizations that buy through contracts and sales teams ## Worth knowing - No prices are published: every edition is quoted through sales, so no starting price is shown here. - The page says plan structures can differ by contract terms and by when a customer joined. - Concurrency, on-premise agents and log retention are capped per edition (for example 1 concurrency in Standard, 15 in Enterprise MCP). - Optional add-ons such as RPA, Private Link and advanced security are sold separately. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Workato connects business apps and automates processes across a company, with MCP servers and AI agents on its higher editions. No prices are published, concurrency and on-premise agents are capped per edition, and the vendor says plan structures can differ by contract. - **Value for money: C.** No prices are published: every edition is quoted through sales. With nothing on record it sits at C, and the page says plan structures can differ by contract terms. - **Free plan and trial: D.** The pricing page has a Start for free sign-up button, but it doesn't say how long it lasts, what it covers or whether a card is needed. No free plan is listed. - **Features: C.** Integration, process automation, MCP servers, data pipelines and an agent studio on the top edition. But concurrency, on-premise agents and log retention are capped per edition: 1 concurrency in Standard, 15 in Enterprise MCP. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Recipes, environments and edition limits need set-up and admin time. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with an API platform, on-premise agents (3, 10 or 30 by edition) and MCP servers.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/automation ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Workato you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 51 of the 71 other automation tools grade higher. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and roles and permissions.
