## Windmill Cloud (Community)

- `dev-services/windmill-cloud` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding request-rate | category hosted workflow engine and script runner | tier Community
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-31T00:43:09.670Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-01
- url https://www.windmill.dev/docs/getting_started/how_to_use_windmill
- free tier: Community plan on Windmill Cloud with no credit card: 1,000 free executions per user per month and 1,000 free executions per workspace per month; one execution is one job of up to 1 second on a worker with 2GB of memory, and each further second counts as another execution | unit: requests | metered on: request-count | read on: 2026-10-31 | source: [1] | note: An execution is also counted per second of job time, so the count is partly wall-clock. Job run details are kept 60 days. Windmill Cloud is hosted in the US.
- per-object cap: unverified: the plan and getting-started pages quoted name no limit on a job's payload or result size
- retention: job run details are retained for 60 days on the Community plan (cloud) | days: 60 | source: [2]
- egress: not stated: the plan pages name no charge or cap on traffic out of a job | metered: no | source: [3]
- identity: email | detail: No credit card required; sign-up with GitHub, GitLab, Google or Microsoft SSO, and the login page also offers a login without a third party.
- interface: rest, cli
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): 1,000 free executions per user per month and 1,000 per workspace per month [4]
  - retention-clamped: job run details kept 60 days [2]
- binding note: A job longer than one second counts once per second, so 1,000 executions is at most 1,000 seconds, about 16 minutes, of job time a month.
- interface detail: Every request to the Windmill API carries a Bearer user token, which can be scoped; the wmill CLI syncs scripts and authenticates with a user token
- tooling: the Windmill web app, the REST API with user tokens and the wmill CLI
- composes with: A hosted scheduler and script runner on a 2GB worker: 1,000 one-second jobs a month cover an hourly check that calls free APIs and writes to a free database.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded; Windmill Cloud is hosted in the US
- notes: Hosted: Windmill runs this plan, and the same offer is also recorded as compute/windmill-cloud. The open-source edition, which the user installs and runs, is compute/windmill and is the last resort after this hosted plan.

## Windmill

- `compute/windmill` | self-hosted, last resort | verdict qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding none | category platform host
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-04T02:24:26.168Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://www.windmill.dev/pricing
- free tier: Free and open source at USD 0 a month with unlimited executions when self-hosted; Enterprise Self-Host from USD 120 a month. The hosted Community plan is dev-services/windmill-cloud | unit: unlimited | metered on: request-count | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1]
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: not published: the pricing page and the CLI docs state no egress term; for the self-hosted software egress is set by the machine that runs it | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: anonymous | detail: No account with Windmill is needed: the documented install downloads docker-compose.yml, Caddyfile and .env from raw.githubusercontent.com and runs docker compose up, and the first login is on the user's own instance.
- interface: cli, rest
- limits:
  - request-rate: 'Unlimited executions' on the self-hosted open-source tier; Enterprise Self-Host from $120/mo [1]
- limits note: The free self-hosted edition caps an instance at 3 workspaces, 50 users, 10 users with SSO, a 10 GiB workspace object storage quota, job run details kept up to 30 days and 100 trigger emails a day; executions are unlimited.
- binding note: Executions are unlimited when self-hosted, so no vendor cap binds a single user's jobs; the machine the user runs the instance on bounds throughput.
- interface detail: wmill CLI (list, get, new, sync); REST API described by an OpenAPI document linked from the pricing page; no SSH or SDK read
- tooling: the user installs and runs the Windmill server and worker containers and a Postgres database, with Docker Compose on one machine or the Helm chart on Kubernetes, on a rented or free machine
- composes with: not stated
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The hosted Community plan that Windmill runs is dev-services/windmill-cloud (also recorded as compute/windmill-cloud) and comes first. This record is no duplicate of it and stays: it is the open-source edition that the user installs and runs, with unlimited executions on the user's own instance, and it is the last resort.
- evidence note: the pricing page was read on 2026-10-22. 'Unlimited executions' is a claim about a missing limit, so it is recorded as the unit unlimited and not multiplied into a capacity figure
- self hosted: yes
- extras:
  - keep_rate_basis: no field in the source
  - billing_model: unclassified
