Thanks, edited our post to clarify why we're charging $30/mo - we do plan to offer a free version or trial in the future. I think that most other "low-code" players are focused on RPA (helping ops automate internal busin

Right now, $30/mo is for access to Paragon and the your first 1,000 tasks. We provide additional pricing tiers for higher usage where the cost/task drops significantly.

There's definitely a large subset of the market which expect not to pay for an email client, but there are many email products available now with many paying customers e.g. yesware, streak, sidekick, etc. There are certainly ways of ca
