Bottom line: Taskade is a workspace that mixes projects, AI agents, automations, and its Genesis app builder — describe an app in plain words and it builds and hosts it. The free plan is genuinely $0 and includes 2 users and up to 3 hosted apps, but read the fine print: free includes no monthly AI credits, so heavy AI use means earning credits, buying a pack, or upgrading.
What does Taskade actually do?
Taskade started as a collaborative task manager and has grown into an AI-native workspace. You organise work as projects, create AI agents that can be trained on your files and projects, and connect automations that run workflows in the background across more than 100 integrations on paid plans. Genesis is the headline act: type a description such as a CRM, a booking tool, or a dashboard, and Taskade generates a working, hosted app you can clone, customise, and share. Apps, agents, and automations all live in the same workspace and share its memory.
What is free, and what is paywalled?
| Plan | Price | Key limits |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 2 users, up to 3 Genesis apps, 1 AI agent, 10 automation runs a month, no monthly AI credits included |
| Pro | $10/month | 10 users, 50,000 AI credits a month, unlimited apps, agents, and automations |
| Business | $25/month | Unlimited users, 150,000 credits a month, custom domains, white-label branding |
The free plan’s credit setup is the thing to understand. Credits power app generation, agent runs, and AI steps in automations — and on free you start with none renewing monthly. You can earn credits by inviting friends and sharing Taskade, or buy a pack (packs start at $5 for 9,000 credits and never expire). Your published apps stay live on free; the caps bite when you build a fourth app, want a second agent, or run AI constantly. Pro at $10 a month is the unlock most people will eventually want.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Build and host up to 3 real apps from plain-English prompts, free
- Projects, agents, and automations in one workspace — no glue tools
- Clone community templates instead of starting from a blank page
- Desktop and mobile apps alongside the web version
- Published apps stay live even if you never pay
Cons
- No monthly AI credits on the free plan — AI use stalls without packs
- Free caps (3 apps, 1 agent, 10 automation runs) arrive quickly
- Watermark removal and custom domains need paid plans
- The sheer number of features can overwhelm simple to-do users
Who is Taskade best for?
Taskade’s free plan is best for solo builders, freelancers, and small teams who want to prototype an internal tool or client portal without code and without a card. It is a strong free sandbox: build one real app, wire up one agent, and see if the workflow fits before the $10 Pro tier starts looking cheap. If you only need a simple shared to-do list, it is more machine than you need.
Frequently asked questions
Is Taskade free forever?
Yes — the free plan is a standing plan, not a trial. Your apps stay published; the limits are on how many apps, agents, and automation runs you get, plus the lack of monthly AI credits.
How do AI credits work on the free plan?
Free includes no monthly credit allowance. You can earn credits through referrals and sharing, or buy packs starting at $5 for 9,000 credits, which stack and do not expire.
Can I publish an app on the free plan?
Yes. Up to 3 Genesis apps with hosting included. Removing the Taskade watermark needs Pro; your own custom domain needs Business.
When does Pro become worth it?
When you hit the app or agent caps, or when 50,000 monthly credits and unlimited automations would save you buying pack after pack.
Verdict: One of the most capable free no-code sandboxes available — just go in knowing the AI meter runs on earned or bought credits, not a monthly allowance.
