Albato
Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
Albato is a tool for linking applications to one another, not for working with social networks directly. This is how it describes itself: "Connect AI agents to 1,000+ apps with Albato's embedded iPaaS and MCP. White-label, secure, no dev team. Launch agentic workflows in days. Book a demo" (homepage). That self-description is the tool's own claim about itself, not an independent assessment.
One discrepancy is visible straight away and it is worth keeping in mind: the homepage declares "1,000+ apps", while the applications catalogue itself announces 913 on the date of the check. The difference is small, but these are different figures from two places on one site, and both belong to the tool.
A programming interface is confirmed: on the homepage there is a link to the developer documentation, the page opens and contains the marks of documentation. Checked by opening the address, not inferred from the word "api" in the link.
The interface language of the homepage is English; the markup declares no other language versions (homepage).
The site is prepared for reading by programs: there is a machine-readable index llms.txt of 7,442 characters. The length is our own measurement on the date of the check, not the tool's own claim.
Which platforms it works with
Out of the large catalogue, fourteen applications relate to social networks and messengers (catalogue): Facebook, Facebook Pages, Facebook audience, Instagram for Business, LINE, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Reddit Ads, Telegram, Twitter (X), Viber, WhatsApp Business API, YouTube.
The names were verified by opening the individual pages of the form albato.com/apps/<slug> from the site map sitemap_apps.xml — the catalogue gives out eighteen cards per page, and it cannot be read as a whole list.
Note the way it is split up: Facebook is represented by three different applications (Facebook itself, pages and audiences), Reddit by two (the ordinary one and the advertising account). Instagram is available only in the version for business — "Instagram for Business". WhatsApp is connected through the Business API, that is, it requires the corresponding access from the platform itself.
Separately about the Russian platforms. The pages vkontakte, vkads, vkmarket and max redirect to the general catalogue address — these applications have been removed from the international catalogue (catalogue). If you were counting on linking VKontakte or VK Ads through Albato, on the data we checked that is no longer in the international version.
How you earn with it
An affiliate programme is announced — the Albato Affiliate Program (programme page). The "Affiliate Program" link stands in the footer of the homepage; the addresses /affiliate, /partners and /referral answer with code 404, so there is one working page.
With the rates the picture is complicated. In the header of the page "earn up to 50%" is promised. In the table of tiers two percentages are given for each tier: Bronze — 10 % / 30 % (up to ten active accounts), Silver — 15 % / 40 % (eleven to thirty), Gold — 25 % / 50 % (over thirty). What exactly the two rates within one tier are divided by, the page does not explain. That is, the upper figure from the header is reachable only at the Gold tier and only on one of the two rates, and on which one is not clear from the open source.
The commission is recurring, and the tool puts it outright: "Be commissioned as long as the referred accounts stay active on paid plans", "Receive a monthly payment over the total amount paid by all the users you refer" (the Lifetime Earnings block). As long as the client you brought pays, you are paid too.
The payout threshold is named: "Payments are processed once you reach the minimum payout threshold of $100". There is one method of payment — a bank transfer, and for the settlements you need to give the IBAN of your account; no other methods are named on the page.
Who is admitted: influencers, online schools and course authors, consultants and integrators, SaaS tools. Registration as a promoter with acceptance of the terms. Your own audience can be given a coupon for a 20 % discount on the first payment (programme page).
What it will not do
VKontakte, VK Ads, VK Market and MAX are not available in the international catalogue — their pages redirect to the general catalogue address. The applications were there and were removed: that is visible from the residual addresses.
The lifetime of the affiliate click tag is not named. How long a click on your link stays in force is not said on the programme page.
There is no public page of affiliate programme terms on the site: the terms are accepted at registration as a promoter, that is, it is impossible to read them from outside before joining.
How the two rates within each tier are arranged the tool does not explain. That is marked outright as a partial fact, and planning your income on the figure of "up to 50 %" from the header on such a basis is not advisable.
The cost of Albato's own plans the sources we checked do not name — which is why this deep dive has no section on pricing.

Pricing
The cheapest paid plan is Pro on its lowest tier of 1000 transactions a month: «$15/mo» paid yearly and «$22/mo» paid monthly, that is, 15 USD a month on yearly billing and 22 USD a month monthly. Yearly billing is presented on the page as a saving, «save up to 30% with annual billing»
Both prices are for the same volume of 1000 transactions; 15 USD without the caveat about the year would be the wrong figure. A monetary fact, shelf life 90 days. There is no «last updated» stamp on the page.

Four levels: Free — 0 USD, 100 transactions a month; Pro — from 15 USD a month paid yearly (22 USD monthly) for 1000 transactions, with the grid running up to 2 million transactions; Teams — 65 USD a month paid yearly and 93 USD monthly, from 5000 transactions, five team seats, marked at the time of the check as «Coming Soon»; Custom — price not published, referral to the sales department, volume by agreement. Overage is counted separately: «Extra transaction cost $0.0330» per transaction above the limit on monthly billing
The Teams plan is marked as not yet launched, but its price is already given — worth knowing so as not to count on team mode today. The overage price of 3.3 cents per transaction is named only for monthly billing.

There is a free plan — Free, 0 USD, «100 transactions» a month. The limits are named outright: «5 active automations» and «2 steps per automation», log retention «7-day log storage», and workflows checked once every 15 minutes. The number of apps and connections is meanwhile unlimited
The combination of «100 transactions and 2 steps per automation» makes the free plan suitable for testing an idea but not for work: a hundred successful steps a month are spent in a day with any real flow of enquiries.
source, checked 2026-08-07
You pay for the volume of steps executed, not per person and not per connected app. The definition of the unit verbatim: «Transactions are successfully executed automation steps, such as creating contacts, deals, or tickets, sending messages or notifications, or adding records to apps.» The number of apps and connections does not affect the price — on the free plan they are claimed to be unlimited. Team seats are sold separately and only on Teams: five seats in the plan
Counting as at Zapier — by successful steps rather than by whole workflow runs as at n8n. Beyond the limit, though, work does not stop but is charged at 0.0330 USD per transaction, so the bill can grow beyond the advertised rate.

There is a trial period: 7 days, verbatim on the page — «Trial 7 days». It is separately stipulated that paying for a plan does not consume the trial: «If I pay for a plan, will it end my free trial? No, the rest of the free trial will be added to your plan.»
