Awesome at first, but the Diaflow credits kills this deal
At first, the deal seems perfect, but when you use the tool, you realize that all sorts of actions consume these diaflow credits. And that even makes Tier 4 absurd. Unlimited automations? Pff, yeah. But you don't even come close to using that in ANY productive environment.
Let me explain, you have 50,000 credits per month (Tier 4):
- For example, web scraping costs 20 credits.
- For example, HTTP requests cost 10 credits.
Imagine building a single flow, a single cool automation that's a little more complex, just a little! You easily reach a credit consumption of 60 per call. And now what?
With the 50,000 credits, you can call this single flow about 833 times, at which point your monthly credits are used up. Do you have four similarly complex flows/automations? Well... then you can access each of them 208 times per month. Is that a lot? No. Not if you have 10 users who are supposed to access this automation. Let alone 1,000. This deal is only for private users, and even then, it's limited.
Need a simpler example?
Scraping a Website uses up to 20 Credits.
1 of your flow user -> 2500 scrapes per month (okayish)
10 of your flow users -> 250 scrapes per month (umpf)
100 of your flow users -> 25 scrapes per month (uh oh)
They promise "unlimited" automation. This may be correct. But as I said, the credit system blows your plan. :)
Think BYOK is the solution? Not at all! This way, you won't have to use Diaflow Automation credits on nodes that support BYOK; of course, that only applies to a few, you know - these AI Nodes (ChatGPT etc.). HTTP requests, web scraping, etc., always go to the rare, expensive Automation credits.
Honestly? If you have bigger plans, stay away. Yes, you can buy more credits, but they're so ridiculously expensive, it's insane. 44,000 credits, for example, cost another $200.
Use this productively somewhere? Good luck...

Mar 31, 2025Hi Kalleno,
Thank you for trying Diaflow. We value your feedback on our credit system. Yes, it’s expensive, and we know it. Our team is working diligently to make it more affordable for all users every day. When you use Diaflow, you gain access to all the best features we’ve built for our enterprise customers alongside the highest security standards that we are applying for our system. That’s why it’s priced higher.
As a progress in our development, we’ll soon make all nodes free, except for AI-enabled ones. You can follow our public roadmap for further updates.
We are sorry to see you go but if you still look for a data automation platform, don't forget us.
