Automation Pricing 2026: Complete Guide

In short — the Junyr Suite is all-included at 179 €/month HT (1st user, full 8-module ERP, 30 GB, 5,000 AI credits), then +39 €/user/month (a user = one human or one Junyr Agent) — no add-on catalogue and no hidden email/CRM/infrastructure costs, unlike n8n, Make, Zapier or LangGraph. See the full Junyr pricing page.

Pricing for automation platforms varies wildly: from free (open-source n8n) to $100+/month (Zapier Professional). This comprehensive guide compares the Junyr Suite, n8n, Make, Zapier, and LangGraph to help you understand the true cost.


TL;DR: Pricing Comparison

PlatformStarting PriceHidden CostsTotal First Year
Junyr Suite179 €/month HT (all-included)❌ None (all-inclusive)2,148 € (or 1,826 € billed annually, −15 %)

Zapier$29.99/month✅ Email + CRM$700-1,200
LangGraph€0 (open-source)✅ Development + Infrastructure€8,000-15,000

Verdict: the Junyr Suite offers the best value for business users — all-inclusive, no hidden costs. It's a sovereign AI operating system for your business (European hosting, your data secured and always available), not a connect-the-dots automation tool.

FAQ

How much does the Junyr Suite cost?

The Junyr Suite is 179 €/month HT, all-included: the first user, the full 8-module ERP, 30 GB of storage and 5,000 AI credits per month. Each extra user (one human or one Junyr Agent) is +39 €/month, and an Entreprise tier with SLA, audit log and custom domains is available on quote. Annual billing saves 15 %, there's no add-on catalogue, and you can cancel anytime. See the Junyr pricing page for live numbers.

Are there hidden costs like email or CRM subscriptions?

No. Unlike Zapier, Make or self-hosted n8n, the Junyr Suite includes professional email, an entity-graph CRM, the full ERP and AI credits in the base price — there are no separate mailbox, CRM or infrastructure fees. Migration from Gmail, Outlook or CSV (via the OAuth IMAP Migration Wizard) is a flat €1,490 excl. VAT (revenue < €5M; on quote above).

Is the Junyr Suite an automation tool like Zapier or n8n?

Not exactly. Zapier and n8n connect apps you already pay for; the Junyr Suite is a sovereign AI operating system for your business that bundles email, an 8-module ERP, a CRM and Junyr Agents into one European-hosted product, so the price covers far more than connections.

Can I keep my data sovereign?

Yes. The Junyr Suite runs on European hosting with three confidentiality tiers (Simple, Sécurisée, Totale), supports bringing your own local LLM so data stays on your hardware, and offers On-Prem self-hosting on the Entreprise tier.
