Tines
Pros

- No-code approach with AI-assisted workflow building reduces dependency on engineering teams
- Self-hosted deployment option available from the Business tier for organizations with strict data requirements
- Free Community edition allows meaningful experimentation with 25K events/month
- Purpose-built for security use cases with deep domain expertise from founders
Cons
- Business and Enterprise pricing is not publicly listed, requiring sales engagement
- Free tier is very limited with only 3 flows, 1 builder, and 24-hour event retention
- Starter tier still limits to 1 builder, making it unsuitable for team collaboration without upgrading to Business
