How to choose a BuildShip alternative
- Automate a process you have already documented. Automating a messy process encodes the mess and makes it harder to fix.
- Insist on a human-in-the-loop step for anything financial or customer-facing, and check the tool supports it natively.
- Price it per run at real volume. Step-based and credit-based pricing diverge enormously once a workflow runs thousands of times a month.
