Explore Windmill's code-first orchestration platform for internal apps, workflows, and job scheduling, including open-source and Enterprise pricing.
Windmill is an open-source, code-first orchestration platform designed for building internal software. Founded in 2022 by Ruben Fiszel and backed by Y Combinator and investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, the company operates out of Paris and San Francisco and has grown to serve thousands of organizations, including hundreds of enterprise customers.
The core idea behind Windmill is that internal tools, automations, and data pipelines should be built from ordinary code rather than proprietary low-code building blocks. Scripts written in Python, TypeScript, Go, PHP, Bash, or SQL can be turned directly into runnable tools, scheduled jobs, or multi-step workflows.
Windmill automatically generates user interfaces for scripts and flows, letting teams go from a raw script to a usable internal application quickly, while still keeping the underlying logic in standard, portable code rather than a vendor-specific format.
Windmill supports multiple languages in a single platform and represents workflows as DAG-based flows that capture task dependencies, enabling complex automations and data pipelines to be built and visualized clearly.
Collaboration is Git-native, with entire workspaces version-controlled, and teams can share resources and set granular permissions across scripts, flows, and apps. Enterprise-grade controls include role-based access control, SSO, secret management, and audit logging.
The platform can be self-hosted via Docker, Fargate, or Kubernetes, or run on Windmill's managed cloud, and it emphasizes execution speed, positioning itself as one of the fastest job orchestrators available for internal tooling and automation use cases.
Windmill follows an open-core pricing model. The Free and Open-Source tier costs nothing, supports unlimited executions, up to 50 users, three workspaces, and 10 GiB of object storage, with community Discord support and some limits such as 10 SSO users.
The Enterprise tier starts at 120 per month and unlocks unlimited workspaces, executions, audit logs, and job retention, along with SAML with group sync, distributed caching, advanced observability, and 24/7 priority support.
Enterprise pricing scales with optional add-ons, including developer seats at 20 per month, operator or external JWT user seats at 10 per month, and standard or native subworkers at 50 per month each, billed monthly or annually with no additional usage-based metering.
Windmill is used to turn scripts into internal tools, automated workflows, and scheduled jobs for engineering and data teams.
