Gumloop is a node-based automation canvas where each node can run an AI step, a scrape, an API call or a data transformation. It sits between Zapier and a coding framework: more expressive than Zapier, less setup than writing code. Chrome extension scraping is a genuinely useful addition.
Who it is for
A technical generalist who needs more logic than Zapier allows and does not want to maintain a server.
Key features
- Node canvas with AI, scraping and API nodes
- Chrome extension for browser scraping
- Subflows and reusable components
- Scheduled and webhook triggers
- Deploy as an API or Slack command
Where it falls short
Node canvases get unreadable past a few dozen steps, and the debugging story is thin — when a run fails, finding the bad node is manual.
Pricing
Free tier gives a monthly credit allowance. Paid tiers scale on credits and credits burn on both AI tokens and node runs. Model choice inside a node changes the cost substantially.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Gumloop.
