description: >-
  FinOps view of Softr spend. Softr bills a flat monthly subscription per plan
  (Free, Basic, Professional, Business, Enterprise) rather than per-API-call.
  Cost drivers are the plan tier plus consumption against plan allowances: app
  users (with metered overages on Professional at +$10 per 10 users up to 250),
  Softr Database records, AI credits, and Workflow actions. API access is a
  plan feature unlocked from Professional upward.
notes: >-
  Subscription prices and allowances reflect softr.io/pricing at annual billing;
  month-to-month is higher. Verify overage rules and allowances during
  reconciliation.
