Workato means recipes, connectors, and a six-figure contract. Ballet generates the integration code on demand and prices to the workflows you ship, not per task, per recipe, or per seat-tier.
 Ballet | Workato | |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Workflows + agents, written as code | Recipes on a managed iPaaS |
| New integration | Generated on demand against any API | Connector SDK, or wait for a connector |
| Pricing model | Scoped to workflows you ship | Per-recipe / transaction tiers, enterprise contract |
| Output when it matters | Deterministic + agentic where it helps | Deterministic recipes |
| Breakage | Evals on every step; auto-patched | Recipe errors, manual fixes |
| Code you own | Generated, version-controlled code | Proprietary recipe format |
| Time to value | 30 minutes | Weeks of implementation / SI |
No per-task or per-recipe metering. Pricing tracks the workflows you ship and their complexity, starting at the cost of a single FDE-month.
Ballet generates version-controlled code you can read, fork, and keep, not a proprietary recipe format locked inside a platform.
Workato deployments often come with an SI and a multi-week implementation. Ballet ships your first workflow in a 30-minute working session.
It targets the same enterprise multi-system workflows, but instead of a managed recipe platform it generates code you own, with evals and approval gates built in.
Workato meters recipes/transactions on an enterprise contract. Ballet is scoped to the workflows you ship. No per-task pricing.
Every run is replayable, generated code is version-controlled, and approval gates are first-class. Ballet is part of Brainfish and covered by Brainfish's SOC2 Type II compliance. Details are in our Trust Center. SSO/SAML at Enterprise.
Any system with an API. Ballet writes the integration on demand, including internal ERPs and legacy tools without an off-the-shelf connector.
30 minutes on your real systems. No SOW, no implementation project.
