Inngest Pricing Plans and Tiers
Event-driven durable functions for background job orchestration
Pricing last verified: June 22, 2026
Pricing Analysis
Inngest's usage-based model (Hobby free, Pro $75/month for 1M executions) undercuts Temporal's $100/month minimum; free tier (50K executions, 5 concurrent steps, 3 users) targets proof-of-concepts and small teams. Pro tier's 100+ concurrent steps and 15+ user support scales to 10-50 person organizations.
The free tier's 5-concurrent-step limit constrains parallel workflows; Pro's 100+ removes this ceiling, enabling fan-out patterns common in e-commerce checkout flows. Trace retention (7 days free, 90 days Enterprise) impacts debugging speed-short free-tier windows force log archival.
Inngest positions as 'event-driven durable functions'-emphasizing event sourcing patterns over batch orchestration, differentiating from Temporal's workflow-centric positioning. Pricing reflects this: 1M executions (Pro, $75/month) is 1/3 Essentials tier cost, suggesting lower per-execution cost.
Strengths
- Free tier (50K executions, 3 users) enables evaluation without credit card friction; low conversion friction attracts early-stage teams and reduces sales cycle.
- Pro tier's 100+ concurrent steps enable sophisticated fan-out/fan-in patterns; Temporal's opaque 'action' definition makes concurrency comparison difficult.
- Event-first API design (trigger functions on events) feels natural to teams already using event buses (SNS, Kafka); Temporal requires workflow definition learning curve.
Considerations
- Hobby free tier's 5-concurrent-step limit makes real-world workflows infeasible; most teams must upgrade immediately, creating misleading 'free' tier positioning.
- Pro tier ($75/month) lacks explicit SLA or P0 response commitments; Temporal Business ($500/month) includes 2-hour guaranteed response, critical for production systems.
- Trace retention (7 days free, 90 days Enterprise) mirrors competitors but 90-day limit may be insufficient for post-incident analysis >3 months; Temporal's Enterprise unlimited retention.
Event-driven teams (5-30 developers) building serverless workflows with <500K monthly executions, prioritizing low-cost evaluation over SLA guarantees.
Free tier and Pro tier ($75/month for 1M executions) undercut Temporal on cost, but concurrent step limits and 7-day trace retention force rapid upgrades for production workloads.
