Gotchas

  • 10,000 rows total

    The entire free team is capped at 10,000 rows across all bases, resetting is not applicable — this is a hard ceiling that blocks new row creation when reached.

  • 10,000 rows per base

    Each individual base is also capped at 10,000 rows on the free tier, the same as the team total.

  • 2 GB file storage

    Total file/attachment storage for the whole team is limited to 2 GB on the free plan.

  • 3,000 API calls/month

    The entire team shares a fixed pool of 3,000 API calls per month; paid plans scale per user.

  • 100 automations/month

    The team is limited to 100 automation runs per month in total on the free tier.

  • 100 Python script runs/month

    Python automation scripts are capped at 100 runs per month for the whole team; JS scripts are unlimited.

  • 12.5 AI credits/month

    Only 12.5 AI credits are allocated per month on the free plan, severely limiting AI-powered features.

  • 1-month snapshot retention only

    Version history snapshots are retained for only 1 month on the free tier; paid plans retain 6–24 months.

  • No advanced sharing or row permissions

    Table/view/column-level permissions and advanced sharing controls are locked to Plus and Enterprise plans.

  • No SSO / SAML / LDAP

    Enterprise authentication methods (SAML, OAuth, LDAP, AD) are unavailable on the free cloud tier.

  • No Big Data Storage

    The Big Data Storage backend for very large datasets is exclusive to Enterprise and Dedicated plans.

  • No email support

    Free users are limited to help center and forum support; email support requires a paid plan.

  • Max 25 users

    The free cloud plan caps team size at 25 users; paid plans allow unlimited users.
