Home / Run Operations & Workflows / Parabola
Now Prowork by Parabola: describe a messy recurring ops process in plain language and it builds the agent that runs it — free to start solo, quoted as a team deployment.
A strong fit for messy-data operations a solo founder runs alone — with the catch that anything beyond the free tier is a quote, not a price.

As of November 2026, Parabola (Prowork) publishes no paid price — free for one user with 1,000 credits, quoted for teams — for agents that run messy ops and finance processes.
Your recurring pain is messy operational data — PDFs, inboxes, reconciliation — and you want to prove one agent free before any sales conversation.
You need a published price before you build, or your jobs are simple app-to-app triggers Zapier or Make already cover cheaply.
Workflows are built only from verified capabilities in our listing research — no vendor copy, nothing invented.
Starts A batch of invoices or orders lands by email or file
You get A reconciled table with exceptions flagged
Hours of copy-checking between documents and systems
Starts A messy supplier or inventory file arrives
You get A load-ready file instead of a manual cleanup session
The recurring spreadsheet surgery disappears
Starts Operational email with attachments arrives
You get Documents processed without opening each attachment
Approval Review extracted figures before they post to finance systems
Email stops being an unstructured database
The self-serve builder turns a description into an agent; start on the free Basic tier with 1,000 credits.
Agents show their work at each step — verify extraction quality on your messiest real inputs, not samples.
Business pricing and pay-as-you-go credit rates are unpublished — a written quote with credit rates is the budget.
Time to first useful result: An afternoon for a first agent on the free tier; Business deployments are vendor-assisted · no-code 4/5
Pricing not published for paid use — quote only. The official pricing page (checked 2026-11-06) publishes no dollar figures: a free self-serve Basic plan (1 user, 1,000 credits, limited AI) with pay-as-you-go credits as usage grows, and Business plans sold with Parabola's Applied AI team on custom credit volumes. Business starts with a proof of concept on your production data at no cost if it does not prove value.
Parabola publishes no price on its official site, so we don’t guess one. Here is what is known, and what to ask before you sign.
Unknowable from the published page: the step from free Basic to a quoted Business plan has no public price, so the jump risk is the quote itself — get the credit rate and renewal terms in writing.
Price record · 2026-11-06: Checked 2026-11-06 on parabola.io/pricing (now 'Prowork by Parabola'): the page publishes NO dollar figures in either plan column — self-serve is described as a free Basic plan (1 user, 1,000 credits, limited AI) with pay-as-you-go credits, and Business is 'Talk to sales' with custom credit volumes and a no-cost-if-no-value proof of concept. Older third-party figures for Parabola's retired flow-based tiers ($80 Solo / $800 Team and similar) do not appear on the current official page and were not used. As of November 2026 this is a quote-only listing with a free entry tier.
The same fields on every deep listing in this job, so agents compare field by field. “Not verified” means our research has not confirmed it yet — it never means “doesn't have it.”
As of November 2026, Parabola — relaunched as Prowork — publishes no paid price: a solo founder starts free and any team deployment is quoted, a fact this listing states plainly rather than estimating. The product has shifted from its old drag-and-drop flow builder toward agents for operations and finance work: you describe a messy, recurring process — reconciling orders against invoices, extracting data from PDFs and inboxes, cleaning supplier files — and Prowork builds an agent that runs it, shows its work step by step, and stays audit-ready through handoffs. Self-serve plans are for individual users: the free Basic tier carries 1 user and 1,000 credits with limited AI, full access to the builder and integrations, and pay-as-you-go credits as usage expands; credits are consumed when agents run, not while you build them. Business plans add the vendor's Applied AI team building alongside you, role-based access, version history with rollback, SSO and SOC 2 controls, and a proof of concept on your own production data that costs nothing if it does not prove value. For a solo founder the fit is narrow but real: document- and spreadsheet-heavy operations with messy inputs, where a general connector like Zapier cannot parse the mess. The price opacity is the standing caveat — budget only after a written quote.
Solo Fit stays the public score: the qualitative roll-up of these four published inputs under the How We Rank method. A capable no-code agent builder carries it; opaque quote-only pricing is the clarity trade, recorded honestly.
The difference: Make publishes every price and gives you a canvas you fully control; Parabola gives you agents over messy data but no public paid price.
The difference: Zapier is the published-price connector for clean app events; Parabola targets the document-and-inbox mess Zapier cannot parse.
The difference: Gumloop publishes a flat $37 Pro for AI judgement work; Parabola's edge is ops/finance document processes — at the cost of quote-only pricing.
No paid price is published. The official pricing page, checked 2026-11-06, offers a free self-serve Basic plan (1 user, 1,000 credits, limited AI) with pay-as-you-go credits as usage grows, and Business plans with custom credit volumes quoted by sales. Any dollar figure for Parabola's current Prowork plans would be a guess, so this listing is quote-only.
It is designed for individual users with full Prowork access and all integrations, 1,000 credits a month and limited AI, usable indefinitely. Credits are consumed when agents run — simple agents use fewer, complex tasks like multi-page PDF extraction use more.
The Applied AI team building alongside you, role-based access, version history and rollback, centralised integration governance, SSO and SOC 2 controls, SLAs and a dedicated account manager — starting with a proof of concept on your production data that is free if it does not prove value.
Those figures describe Parabola's retired flow-based pricing. The current official page for Prowork by Parabola publishes no dollar figures at all; this listing follows the vendor's own page, checked 2026-11-06, and discloses the change here rather than repeating stale numbers.
