[Verified] Pazi killed its free tier — US$25/month for opaque AI agents, unclear costs per task

Pazi’s free tier is gone. Here’s what you’re paying for now.

Pazi, a Y Combinator-backed AI business automation tool, has quietly removed its free tier. Previously, the platform offered a one-off 5,000 credits to try building unlimited AI agents—automating sales outreach, content creation, or website crawling. As of late August 2026, that option vanished. If you want to use Pazi at all now, you’re looking at a minimum of US$25 per month for a Pro plan that includes 12,500 credits. The problem: Pazi still doesn’t publish how many credits each automation task costs, making it nearly impossible to estimate your actual spend before committing.

This matters because automation credits are easy to burn through. Different workflows—scraping a website, drafting emails, routing leads—consume different amounts. One failed workflow could drain credits fast. Without transparent per-action pricing, you’re essentially betting blind.

The credit tiers: US$25 to US$500 per month

Pazi simplified its pricing structure in 2026 from a three-tier system (Starter, Advanced, Pro) to a single Pro plan. But rather than offering a fixed monthly allotment, it works like this:

Monthly credit buckets:

• US$25/month = 12,500 credits
• US$50/month = 25,000 credits
• US$100/month = 50,000 credits
• US$200/month = 100,000 credits
• US$500/month = 250,000 credits

You pick one tier and your credits reset each month. If you pay yearly instead of monthly, Pazi offers 20% off—so the US$25 plan drops to roughly US$20 per month when annualized. That’s the only discount structure the site mentions.

There’s no per-overage pricing listed. If you run out of credits mid-month, the site mentions “credit top-up options starting from US$20,” but exact add-on rates aren’t public. You’d have to contact sales to learn what that actually costs.

What you get with Pro

The US$25/month tier includes:

• 12,500 credits per month (resets automatically)
• Unlimited AI agents (you can create as many automations as you want)
• Unlimited businesses (workspaces)
• Unlimited team members
• 24/7 access to run agents
• Integrations with Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord
• Priority support

The main upgrade story between credit tiers is volume: more credits per month. Beyond the credit count, all tiers appear identical. Pazi doesn’t gate features like team size, integrations, or agent creation based on price—only the monthly credit budget changes.

🔍 AMPM exclusive check

We verified the pricing on Pazi’s official site (pazi.ai/pricing) on September 19, 2026. Here’s what differs from what most users would assume:

The free tier really is gone. Our September 22 check of both the homepage and pricing page found zero mention of free trials, free credits, or trial periods. A prior AMPM record from July 2026 noted a 5,000-credit free tier; it no longer exists. Pazi has moved to an all-paid model.

The pricing structure completely changed in 2026. The site previously listed Starter, Advanced, and Pro tiers. That taxonomy is gone. Now it’s a single Pro plan with five credit-bucket options (12.5K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 250K). This is simpler but also more opaque—you no longer get feature tiers; you only get credit volume.

Per-action costs are not published. The site never discloses how many credits a single workflow, automation task, or API call consumes. This is the biggest gap: without knowing that a routine lead-scoring workflow costs 50 credits, you can’t calculate ROI or predict runway. Everything is swallowed into the monthly allotment. This matches the vendor’s page exactly—they don’t list it there either.

Add-on credits have unknown pricing. The site says “points can be purchased” and mentions “top-up options from US$20,” but doesn’t show the exchange rate. A US$20 top-up buys how many credits? Not disclosed.

☀️ AMO, the budget-minded cat

Pazi isn’t budget-friendly anymore. If you’re cash-strapped and wanted to prototype business automation, you’re locked out. The free tier was genuinely useful for that—5,000 credits let you test workflows with Pazi’s agent builder before deciding if the tool was worth paying for. That’s gone.

At US$25 per month minimum, Pazi is a committed expense. That’s not expensive in absolute terms, but if you’re comparing it to free tools like Zapier’s free tier (100 monthly tasks on a simplified automation engine) or Make’s free tier (up to 1,000 operations per month), Pazi demands payment upfront. You don’t get to kick the tires.

The bigger issue is cost opacity. If you can’t see how many credits a task consumes, you can’t budget. Maybe your intended workflow—say, pulling leads from LinkedIn and drafting outreach emails—costs 50 credits and will never hit 12,500 in a month. Or maybe it costs 500 and you’ll blow through US$25 in two days. Pazi won’t tell you.

For a budget-conscious buyer, this is a red flag. You’re not paying for a defined outcome; you’re paying for a credit bucket and hoping you understand the consumption model well enough to not overspend. That’s inherently risky. If Pazi wants adoption from cost-sensitive users, they need to publish per-action pricing. They haven’t.

Skip it if: You’re prototyping. You want to understand tool cost before committing. You need predictable, transparent pricing. You’re comparing against free or freemium alternatives.

🌙 PIMI, the performance-minded cat

Pazi’s strength is agent flexibility, not cost. If you’re a performance-minded buyer, the pricing matters less than capability. Pazi lets you build unlimited AI agents, meaning you can create separate automations for leads, content, customer service, or anything else—all in the same US$25/month bucket. That’s powerful if the agents actually work.

The credit system is designed to prevent runaway costs: Pazi caps you at your monthly allotment and makes you choose how to allocate it. That’s smarter than per-API-call pricing (which can spiral) or unlimited plans (which invite abuse). It forces intentional automation design.

For teams that actually use business automation—not hobbyists or one-off experiments—credit-based pricing is industry-standard. Zapier, Make, n8n, and Airtable Automation all use variants of this. The question isn’t whether credits are a gotcha; it’s whether Pazi’s allotment is generous for your use case.

The unknown: Is 12,500 credits per month enough? At US$25/month, you’re targeting SMBs and solo operators who need lightweight automation. If a simple task costs 10 credits, 12,500 gets you 1,250 runs per month—plenty. If a complex workflow costs 500 credits, you get 25 runs. Pazi won’t say. This is where the lack of pricing transparency actually hurts performance-focused buyers too. You want to know upfront if the plan will handle your load.

Slack integration and unlimited agents are good selling points. If your team lives in Slack and you need multiple automations running, Pazi’s depth may justify the cost. But you should test a workflow in the free tier first to understand credit burn—and Pazi no longer offers that.

Pick it if: You’re committed to business automation as a workflow, not a one-off. You trust the vendor enough to buy blind. You need Slack-native agent execution. You’re okay with the monthly credit model as long as volume is sufficient.

Verdict: who should use it, who should skip it

Use Pazi if:

• You’re a solopreneur or small team that’s already decided automation is core to your workflow
• You’re willing to contact sales to understand per-task credit costs before scaling
• You want agent-based (not flow-based) automation with Slack integration
• You can commit US$25/month sight-unseen

Skip it if:

• You want to prototype for free
• You need transparent, published pricing before buying
• You’re comparing strictly on cost against Zapier, Make, or n8n free tiers
• You’re uncomfortable with opaque consumption models

The removal of the free tier is Pazi’s biggest misstep here. It signals confidence in the product—free tiers are liability—but it also locks out the exact users who might have loved it most: early-stage founders and solo operators who don’t yet have budget for SaaS. That’s a trade-off Pazi has made explicitly. For everyone else, the real blocker is not knowing how many credits your actual workflows will cost. Push Pazi to publish that before committing.
