i can answer some of these from experience:
- workflows are billed on credits not per execution. a simple workflow uses fewer credits than a complex one
- seats: depends on the plan but most plans include multiple team members
- credits get used by workflow executions, enrichment calls, and AI agent conversations. basic form submissions and table operations are essentially free
- yes theres a free tier for testing
the key difference vs zapier: you dont get penalized for multi-step workflows. a 10-step workflow doesnt cost 10x a 1-step workflow like it did on zapier
the multi-step thing was exactly our problem with zapier. a simple 5-step zap counted as 5 tasks per execution. here one workflow run is one credit regardless of steps. much more predictable
the free tier is generous enough to build and test a few real workflows before committing. thats how i evaluated it before moving the team over
