THE SHORT VERSIONWorkflows is ending.
Workflows is ending.
Connect is not.
Choose a code-first or webhook runtime when a workflow processes events from providers such as Stripe or GitHub in code within seconds, or depends on npm or pip packages and exact control over every request.
Choose SpringBrand when the workflow is a recurring job that ends in a report, a summary or a Slack update, and you would rather describe it once and let an agent run it on a schedule than port its code steps.
THE PRACTICAL DIFFERENCES
Your questions, answered side by side.
Pipedream Workflows is a developer tool with code steps and HTTP triggers; SpringBrand is an agent builder for jobs you can describe. Each row is a question Pipedream users ask before March 31, 2027.
Swipe the table to compare both products.
| What matters to your team | SpringBrand | Pipedream Workflows (ending) & Connect |
|---|---|---|
| Is it still running? | Yes. Hosted service with Free, Plus, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. | Until March 31, 2027, in maintenance mode with no new signups. Connect, MCP servers and the API proxy continue. |
| How do I rebuild my workflow? | Describe the job in chat, or fill in instructions, data sources, connected apps and skills in a form; review one run and save it as an agent. | Export each project's workflow structure as JSON; it cannot be imported into SpringBrand and code steps are not converted. |
| What starts a run? | A schedule, a teammate, an @mention in Slack, or an API key on Pro and Max. | HTTP/webhook, schedule and app-event triggers until the shutdown. |
| What happens while I'm offline? | Agents run in the cloud by day, by week or at a set time and post results to Slack, Microsoft Teams or Lark. | Scheduled workflows keep running through March 31, 2027. |
| How does it get better? | It learns from results and your feedback and remembers your preferences between runs. | Workflows run as written until you change the steps or code. |
| What can it connect to? | Credits work across 10,000+ APIs and plugins; connect Gmail, Slack, HubSpot and other accounts once. | Connect lists 3,000+ connectors and 10,000+ prebuilt tools and triggers. |
| How many jobs can run at once? | 1 agent on Free, 2 on Plus, 5 on Pro, 20 on Max; a run lasts up to 4 hours on Max. | No new Workflows subscriptions are sold. |
| What happens to my data? | Your agents and connections stay in your SpringBrand account. | Workflows data, credentials and OAuth tokens are deleted by April 30, 2027. |
| What will it cost? | Free to start; Plus $29, Pro $59, Max $199 per month, lower billed annually. | Workflows plans are no longer sold; Connect Startup is $99 per month, billed annually. |

Describe the job in chat.
Or fill in four parts.
Tell SpringBrand the job in plain language. It proposes the agent's setup — instructions, data sources, connected apps and skills — you confirm, and the same conversation becomes the agent's runner.
Prefer a form? Fill in the same four parts yourself. Your Pipedream export shows what goes where: the data a workflow reads becomes data sources, the apps it calls become connected apps, and its code steps become plain-language instructions.
- In chat: describe the job and confirm the proposed setup
- In a form: instructions, data sources, connected apps, skills
- Run it once, review the result, then save it as an agent

This is an extra way in, not the main one: SpringBrand's MCP server and plugin let Claude Code, Codex or Cursor call the same APIs and plugins, paid from the same credit balance.
If your product already uses Pipedream Connect or its MCP servers, nothing changes there: Pipedream says Connect is fully supported. This page is about Workflows.

Hand over a task and it keeps going in the cloud, 24/7, without you watching the page. A run can last up to 15 minutes on Plus, 60 minutes on Pro and 4 hours on Max.
A schedule, a teammate, an @mention in Slack or, on Pro and Max, an API key can start an agent, and several can run at once: 2 on Plus, 5 on Pro and 20 on Max.

Agents, Skills and APIs.
One subscription, one bill.
The marketplace has three shelves: ready-made Agents by function, such as Sales, Marketing and HR; Skills that add expertise, such as financial modelling; and APIs for data and tools. Credits work across 10,000+ APIs and plugins.
Ten tool subscriptions and ten bills become one subscription and one bill. Search, social, SEO and sales data are built in with no API keys to manage, including official Ahrefs and Semrush API access.
List the apps each workflow touches and check them before you move the job. Pipedream deletes Workflows credentials and OAuth tokens by April 30, 2027, so connect Gmail, Slack, HubSpot or other accounts again in SpringBrand and check the actions each one allows.

By day, by week or at a set time.
Results arrive where you work.
Schedule a task once and the agent runs it on time, every time, even while you are offline. Results and alerts are pushed to Slack, Microsoft Teams or Lark, such as a daily orders summary or a weekly channel digest.
Scheduled tasks: 3 daily on Plus, 20 every 15 minutes on Pro, unlimited every 5 minutes on Max. Pro and Max can also start an agent with an API key.
Run the agent beside the Pipedream workflow for a week and compare the outputs, then let the schedule take over and switch the workflow off.

What changes the cost of an AI agent?
Work backward from one job: how often it runs, how many steps and apps it uses and how long it takes. That gives you the plan, the number of scheduled tasks and the credits you need.
Run frequency
Count how often each workflow runs today. That decides how many scheduled tasks you need and how often they run.
Work per run
An agent task uses about 15–40 credits depending on steps, tools and run time. A short summary uses less than a long research run.
Parallel work
If several jobs run at the same time, check how many agents your plan runs at once: 2 on Plus, 5 on Pro, 20 on Max.
CHOOSE FOR YOUR TEAM
Which way of working fits you?
Not every Pipedream workflow should become an agent. Find the description that sounds like you.
Move to SpringBrand if you are…
An ops or growth lead whose Pipedream workflows end in a report, a summary or a Slack update that a person reads.
- A finance or data analyst who wrote a code step to total orders or file invoices and would rather describe the job than maintain it.
- A small team that wants built-in search, SEO and sales data without managing API keys or separate tool bills.
- A developer who wants recurring jobs to run on a schedule, or from an API key on Pro and Max, with results in Slack or Teams.
Move to another kind of tool if you are…
Handling webhooks from providers such as Stripe or GitHub that must be processed in code within seconds: choose a code-first or webhook runtime.
- Relying on custom code steps, npm or pip packages, or exact control over every request: choose a code-first platform.
- Required to self-host the runtime or keep it in your own cloud account: choose a self-hosted tool.
- Using only Pipedream Connect, MCP servers or the API proxy: stay on Pipedream, and add SpringBrand for the reporting jobs if you need them.
SWITCHING FROM PIPEDREAMMove one workflow.
Move one workflow.
Well before March 31.
Existing workflows keep running until March 31, 2027, so you can test a replacement side by side. Use Pipedream's export tool, which downloads each project's workflow structure as JSON, before the data is deleted on April 30.
Pick a scheduled workflow that ends in a report or update and describe it to SpringBrand. Run both in parallel for a week before you switch the Pipedream workflow off; when the results match, save the agent and schedule it.

Pipedream: FAQs
The Workflows shutdown, what stays in Connect, and how to move recurring jobs.
Pipedream Workflows and String shut down on March 31, 2027. Until then existing workflows keep running in maintenance mode, with no new signups, subscriptions or features. Pipedream Connect, its MCP servers and the API proxy are not affected, according to Pipedream.
By April 30, 2027, including the credentials and OAuth tokens for connected accounts. Connect settings and credentials are not deleted.
Pipedream built an export tool that downloads the structure of your workflows as JSON, one project at a time. Export every project before April 30, 2027.
No. The export describes the workflow but cannot be loaded into SpringBrand, and code steps are not converted. Use it to list each job, then describe the job to SpringBrand.
Pipedream says Workflows subscriptions stay active until March 31, 2027, then cancel automatically with a prorated refund. Annual subscribers can contact Pipedream support for early cancellation.
It depends on the workflow. For recurring jobs that end in a report, summary or update, a SpringBrand agent is quick to set up. For code-heavy webhook pipelines, choose a code-first or self-hosted runtime. If you only use Connect, stay on Pipedream.
No code. Describe the job in chat and SpringBrand proposes the agent's setup — instructions, data sources, connected apps and skills — for you to confirm. If you prefer, fill in the same four parts in a form. A Pipedream code step becomes a sentence about what the job should produce.
It calls APIs, plugins and skills from the SpringBrand marketplace to fetch real data and take real actions, and it reads from and writes to accounts you connect, such as Gmail, Google Sheets, Slack and your CRM. On Pro and Max, your own systems can start an agent with an API key.
Yes. Agents run in the cloud. Schedule a task by day, by week or at a set time and the result is delivered to you, for example in Slack, Microsoft Teams or Lark.
Search the marketplace first — Agents, Skills and 10,000+ APIs and plugins. Connect your own accounts for the apps your work already lives in. For systems that need a custom connection, talk to us about Enterprise; jobs that depend on custom code or a webhook endpoint belong in a code-first runtime.
SpringBrand is free to start: 300 credits on signup, then 100 credits a month, with no credit card required and 1 agent at a time. Paid plans are Plus $29, Pro $59 and Max $199 per month, or $23, $47 and $159 billed annually; scheduled tasks start on Plus. Top-ups are $5 per 1,000 credits. Pipedream's current plans price Connect, not Workflows.
When a workflow processes webhooks from providers such as Stripe or GitHub in code within seconds, needs npm or pip packages or exact control over every request, or must be self-hosted. Choose a code-first or self-hosted runtime for those and move the recurring reporting jobs to SpringBrand.
