Is there a free Pipedream alternative?

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than Pipedream depends on your volume.

What does Pipedream cost?

List prices change, so check Pipedream's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.

What is a good Pipedream alternative for an AI agent?

An agent with a looot connection can call the providers behind Pipedream's data jobs directly. The providers used here are hunter, people-data-labs, thecompaniesapi.

Which Pipedream features does looot not cover?

Not covered: event triggers, hosted code runtime, managed app auth, scheduled runs. Keep Pipedream for those, or use another tool beside looot.

How do I replace Pipedream with looot?

Paste the agent prompt on this page into your coding agent. It sets up looot, finds the endpoints for each job and runs them. You can edit the prompt to match your own inputs.

Do I need a Pipedream account to use looot?

No. looot calls its own providers and does not connect to your Pipedream account. Your existing Pipedream data stays where it is.

Prompt to replace Pipedream

Use looot to look up a company's details and its key people for each new row I give you. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.
