  REPLACED 2026-09-04. The previous version of this file was a bulk-sweep scaffold dated
  2026-05-04 carrying invented tiers ("Free / Professional / Enterprise") and invented
  quotas (1,000 and 100,000 requests per month). None of those numbers came from
  Budibase. Every figure below is read from the machine-readable pricing document
  Budibase publishes at https://budibase.com/pricing.json and advertises in its own
  https://budibase.com/llms.txt as "Canonical structured pricing data for agents".

description: >-
  Budibase plans and pricing, read from the provider's own agent-facing pricing endpoint.
  Budibase prices the PLATFORM (creators, end users, automation actions, AI credits), not
  API calls. Access to the Public API is a plan-gated feature rather than a metered one:
  it is included on every paid Cloud tier, excluded from the self-hosted open-source
  edition, and an "Expanded public API" is Enterprise-only.
plan_count: 5
currency: USD
billing_periods:
  - monthly
  - annual
metered_units:
  - name: automation actions
    note: The primary consumption unit; each tier includes a monthly allowance.
  - name: AI credits
    note: Consumed by Budibase AI agents, models, retrieval and messaging channels.
  - name: creators
    note: Seats that can build. Additional creators are billed per month on Premium and above.
  - name: end users
    note: App consumers. Billed per additional end user per month on every paid tier.

    Read verbatim from the "Public API" and "Expanded public API" rows of pricing.json,
    category Extensibility. The self-hosted open-source edition does NOT include the
    Public API, which is the single most consequential fact for anyone planning to
    integrate with Budibase for free.
