Can I Connect Unlimited Apps to the Free Plan if Not in Production?

Hello, I’m new here, I have questions about pricing, I see that the free plan can only have 3 connected accounts, but if I’m not in production can I connect as many apps as I want with the free plan?

You should visit Pricing - Pipedream for the latest pricing, but I’ll do my best to answer. The Free Tier of Pipedream allows you to connect up to 3 different service accounts, such as Twitter, Discord, Google Sheets, or any of the thousands of available connections. This limit applies regardless of whether you are in production or not. For more details on the Free Tier and other plans, please visit Pricing - Pipedream.

I look at the github tutorial Quickstart - Github Sync - Pipedream and it seems to says that I can connect more apps while I don’t deploy
Users on the Free and Basic plan may preview GitHub Sync by enabling the feature when creating a new project. You will not be able to merge to production without upgrading. When you upgrade, you may enable or disable GitHub sync for projects at any time.

Yep, you’re correct — you can have as many connected accounts as long as they are not in a deployed workflow

Thanks, so as developer I can test everything I want with the free version, right? as soon as I Don’t deploy.
Also, compared to make, is the pricing lower or higher?, I read somewhere that it’s better as make count one exe for each step, while pipedream count the time of execution
I plan to do content about automation, and for what I see I really prefer pipedream to make :slightly_smiling_face:

Regarding pricing, each platform charges using different dimensions, so you’ll have to look at your specific use cases for the comparison to be valid. You can see our definition of a credit in our docs: Plans and Pricing - Pipedream

That’s awesome, please do share your content with us!

Do you have a blog or channel where you publish your content?

Yes, I understand the pricing, where is more limiting is for the number of sources, but as soon as I can experiment for free that’s fine, then the cost will go to clients.
it would be interesting to compare use cases with make, as it’s more widely used, but so painful when you have to parse data!
I have no plan for the moment, I will do youtube as it’s the most impactful, I also have to work on linkedin and twitter, try to repurpose content etc…
I think I will have quite lot of work coming soon as I partner with a sales guy, but I need to work on personal branding too, that’s why I need to make content, the hard part is to find time! :joy:
Another question: do you have partner programs (I saw it for apps, but not for agencies)

I wanted to test github sync, as it says it’s possible if we don’t merge to prod
Users on the Free and Basic plan may preview GitHub Sync by enabling the feature when creating a new project. You will not be able to merge to production without upgrading. When you upgrade, you may enable or disable GitHub sync for projects at any time.

But for what I see it;'s not possible

I believe that’s a bug, and we have some improvements for GitHub sync that’s on the backlog. Hopefully we’ll be able to work on them soon!

ok, thanks, I’m watching the videos of pipedream university on youtube, but they seem a bit outdated

Regarding partner programs, we do have a Partner Program — maybe @U05LQARUKSP can help here?

Yeah, they are a bit outdated. Most concepts still apply, but the builder version you’ll see is different

yes, that’s what I see

But they are still super helpful!

yes, and they are short, which is good!
after that I want to build the workflow I see for make on youtube, in pipedream

Let us know if you have any feedback!

I see that pipedream and make can also be used together
