Most pricing pages bury the details. You click through, start a trial, or sit through a sales call before you find out what you're actually getting.

This article lays out every Zenfox tier clearly — what's included, who each plan suits, and where the value breaks down at scale. If you're deciding whether Zenfox fits your workflow, start here.

What Zenfox Actually Does

Before the numbers, a quick orientation — because Zenfox isn't a chatbot, and the pricing only makes sense once you understand what it's doing.

Zenfox is an agentic AI automation platform. You define a goal in plain language. Zenfox breaks it into steps, runs each step in the background across your connected tools, and stages the finished work for your review before anything touches a live system.

That means it's writing and queuing emails in Gmail, updating records in HubSpot, generating reports in Google Drive, posting to Slack — all without you manually triggering each step. The agents run 24/7. Nothing goes live without your approval.

Over 3,000 integrations are supported, including Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, GitHub, Stripe, Shopify, Airtable, Twilio, and OpenAI. You can also connect any API by name or by pasting documentation — Zenfox handles authentication, schema generation, and credential storage automatically.

The Four Tiers at a Glance

Plan	Price	Automations	Managed Projects	Background Agents	Key Extras
Free	$0/month	1	1	—	1 Instant App, 1 Deep Research, unlimited connectors
Pro	$29/month	15	15	2	Unlimited messages, Deep Research

Enterprise	Custom	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited	Dedicated inference endpoint, on-premises storage, data enclave

Annual billing saves you two months across all paid tiers.

Free — $0 per Month

No credit card required. That's worth stating upfront.

The Free tier includes 1 automation, 1 Managed Project, 1 Instant App, and 1 Deep Research. Unlimited connectors are included from day one — meaning you can connect Gmail, HubSpot, Slack, and whatever else is in your stack without hitting a paywall.

That's a meaningful free tier. Most automation platforms gate integrations behind paid plans. Zenfox doesn't.

Who this suits: Anyone who wants to test whether agentic automation actually fits their workflow before spending money. One Managed Project is enough to see how Zenfox breaks down a goal, executes across tools, and stages output for review. One automation lets you set up a recurring background task — a weekly CRM update, a follow-up sequence trigger — and watch it run.

The honest limit: One of each. If your workflow needs more than one active project or automation running at the same time, you'll hit the ceiling quickly. Free is a genuine trial, not a permanent operating tier for most small teams.

Pro — $29 per Month

This is where Zenfox becomes a working part of your operation.

Pro includes 15 automations, 15 Managed Projects, 2 background agents, unlimited messages, and Deep Research. At $29 per month, it undercuts the closest agentic competitor — Lindy starts at $49 per month — and adds structured human approval gates that Lindy doesn't offer.

What 15 Managed Projects looks like in practice: Zenfox can run a sales follow-up sequence, generate a weekly pipeline report, monitor a competitor's pricing, and draft renewal emails — all simultaneously, all in the background, all staged for your review before anything goes out.

Background agents are the core of Pro. Two agents run continuously, working through tasks across your connected tools while you focus elsewhere. They don't wait for you to trigger them. They work.

Deep Research generates analyst-grade reports using parallel sub-queries across web and academic sources. Preparing for a client meeting, scoping a new market, tracking an industry shift — this produces a structured deliverable, not a summary.

Who this suits: Solo operators and small team leads at B2B companies who are already using Gmail, HubSpot, and Slack daily and need those tools to work together without manual intervention. If you've tried Zapier or Make and found the maintenance overhead too high, Pro is the right entry point. The 10 AI automation workflows that save 10 hours per week are all achievable within this tier.

Max — $99 per Month

Max is built for teams and high-volume operators.

50 automations, 50 Managed Projects, 5 background agents, team collaboration, and priority support. At this tier, multiple people can work within the same Zenfox environment — assigning projects, reviewing agent outputs, and managing automations across a shared workspace.

Five background agents running simultaneously is real operational capacity. For a consulting firm managing multiple client accounts, or an operations team running sales, onboarding, and reporting workflows in parallel, this is the tier where Zenfox starts replacing headcount rather than just reducing manual work.

Priority support matters at this scale. When a background agent is running a client-facing workflow, you need a fast response if something needs adjusting.

Who this suits: Teams of 5 to 15 people with active sales, operations, and reporting workflows that currently require manual coordination across tools. Also suits agency operators managing multiple clients who need automated reporting, follow-ups, and research running across separate workstreams.

Enterprise — Custom Pricing

Enterprise removes the limits and adds the infrastructure controls that larger organisations require.

Unlimited automations and Managed Projects. A dedicated inference endpoint, so your agents aren't sharing compute resources with other tenants. On-premises storage and a data enclave for organisations with strict data residency requirements.

Security at every tier is grounded in specifics: Zenfox is SOC 2 certified, GDPR compliant, and uses AES-256 encryption via Infisical for credential storage. OAuth and API key authentication are handled automatically. Enterprise adds the infrastructure layer on top of those baseline certifications.

Who this suits: Companies with compliance requirements that rule out standard cloud infrastructure, or organisations running enough concurrent agentic workloads that a shared inference environment creates performance constraints.

What You're Actually Paying For

It's worth being direct about the pricing model, because Zenfox charges differently from tools like Make or Zapier.

Make charges per operation. A single Zenfox task — pulling pipeline data from HubSpot, formatting a report, posting it to Slack — might equal 3 to 8 Make operations under their credit model. The per-operation cost looks cheaper until you account for what a task actually involves.

Zapier charges per task and scales steeply at high-frequency agentic workloads. Its architecture is also fundamentally rule-based: you build trigger-and-action chains. Zenfox runs projects. That distinction matters when the work involves multiple tools, conditional logic, and a deliverable at the end.

Zenfox's pricing is per outcome — automations, projects, agents. You're paying for completed work, not for each API call made along the way.

The Human Approval Model Is Not a Limitation

Every Zenfox agent output is staged for your review before any action is taken on a live system.

Some people read that as a constraint. It isn't. It's the reason you can trust a background agent to work on client-facing tasks, financial data, or CRM records without supervision.

Zapier and Make fire and forget. Lindy executes without structured approval gates. Zenfox gives you the final call on everything. That's not a workaround — it's the design.

Native Messaging Access Across Every Plan

One feature that doesn't get enough attention: Zenfox runs natively through Telegram, Discord, iMessage, WhatsApp, and SMS. No app install required.

You can receive agent updates, approve outputs, and trigger projects from whatever messaging app you already use. For solo operators who aren't sitting at a desk all day, that's practically useful. Your agents work while you're in meetings, on calls, or away from your laptop.

Which Tier Fits You

If you're evaluating Zenfox for the first time, start with Free. No credit card, unlimited connectors, and one full Managed Project to see how the execution model works. It's a real test, not a demo.

If you're running a small B2B team with active sales and operations workflows, Pro at $29 per month is the right entry point. Two background agents and 15 concurrent projects cover most of what a 2-to-10 person team needs.

If you're managing a team or running multiple client workstreams at once, Max at $99 per month gives you the capacity and the collaboration layer.

Zenfox isn't a chatbot. It's not a workflow builder you maintain. It's an agentic platform that runs your tools, produces finished work, and waits for your sign-off before anything goes live.

FAQs

Does the Free tier require a credit card? No. The Free tier is $0 per month with no credit card required. You get 1 automation, 1 Managed Project, 1 Instant App, 1 Deep Research, and unlimited connectors from day one.

What is a Managed Project in Zenfox? A Managed Project is a goal you define in plain language. Zenfox breaks it into steps, executes each step across your connected tools in the background, and stages the finished output for your review before anything is committed to a live system. It's end-to-end execution — not a single trigger-and-action step.

How does Zenfox pricing compare to Zapier and Make? Zapier and Make charge per task or per operation. A single Zenfox project task can involve multiple API calls, tool connections, and conditional steps — the equivalent of 3 to 8 Make operations or multiple Zapier tasks. Zenfox charges per outcome (automations, projects, agents), not per operation, which makes cost comparisons more straightforward at higher workload volumes.

Is Zenfox secure enough for client data and financial records? Zenfox is SOC 2 certified, GDPR compliant, and uses AES-256 encryption via Infisical for credential storage. OAuth and API key authentication are handled automatically. Enterprise adds a dedicated inference endpoint, on-premises storage, and a data enclave for stricter data residency requirements.

What's the difference between an automation and a Managed Project? An automation is a recurring background task — a trigger condition that runs a defined action, like updating a CRM record when a form is submitted. A Managed Project pursues a broader goal end-to-end: researching, drafting, updating, and reporting across multiple tools until the deliverable is ready for your review.

Can I use Zenfox without installing an app? Yes. Zenfox runs via browser, desktop, and mobile, and natively through Telegram, Discord, iMessage, WhatsApp, and SMS. You can receive agent updates and approve outputs from any messaging channel you already use — no additional installation required.

How does Zenfox pricing compare to Lindy? Lindy starts at $49 per month. Zenfox's Pro tier starts at $29 per month, and the Free tier is $0 with no credit card required. Zenfox also includes structured human approval gates across all tiers — something Lindy doesn't provide — along with broader native messaging channel access.
