CrewAI
Code-first multi-agent orchestration in Python, MIT licensed, with a hosted studio bolted on top.
The pick when your agents belong in a repo and a CI pipeline rather than on somebody's canvas.
Wrong forNon-developers, and anyone who needs a published mid-tier price: above the free plan it is enterprise sales only.

- Pricing
- Free · enterprise pricing on request
Verified facts
- Free tier
- Basic, $0/month: 50 workflow executions/month, visual editor and AI copilot, GitHub integration. Separately, the underlying CrewAI framework is MIT-licensed and free to self-host with no execution cap, at the cost of only your own LLM API spend.
- Entry paid plan
- No self-serve paid tier currently exists; the only path beyond free Basic is Enterprise, custom-quoted and sales-gated with no published price
- Bills in
- Workflow executions/month on the hosted Basic tier (not credits, not per-node); Enterprise execution volume is custom-scoped; self-hosted OSS use has no CrewAI billing unit at all

Pricing page returns HTTP 200 as server-rendered HTML with a full plan comparison matrix. Only two plans exist: Basic (Free, visual editor and AI copilot, GitHub integration, 50 workflow executions/month, 2 agentic workflow automations, CrewAI cloud deployment only) and Enterprise (Custom price, adds SSO/RBAC/PII redaction, VPC or self-hosted deployment, flexible overage, 45-day onboarding). No self-serve paid tier is published. Repo crewAIInc/crewAI checked same day via GitHub API: 57,265 stars, MIT license, last push 2026-08-18; PyPI package crewai at 1.15.16 released 2026-08-14. Crews and Flows both confirmed as first-class concepts in docs.crewai.com. The site's 'used by 65% of the Fortune 500' line is a CrewAI marketing claim, not independently verified, and is deliberately not used in this entry. Re-checked 2026-08-19 via a separate research pass: confirms no self-serve paid tier exists today; a former $25/month Professional plan (100 executions/mo, 2 seats) existed roughly October 2025 to spring 2026 but has since been discontinued and is absent from the live page.
Head to head
What it's actually used for
- Two orchestration styles in one library: Crews for agents that delegate to each other, Flows for deterministic event-driven control
- MIT licensed with 57k GitHub stars and releases still landing weekly (v1.15.16, August 2026)
- Free hosted tier gives you the visual editor, GitHub integration and 50 workflow executions a month
- Any workflow exports as an MCP server or a drop-in UI component
