description: >-
  FinOps view of Teable spend. Teable Cloud bills per seat by tier (Free, Pro,
  Business) with bundled quotas for rows, automation runs, attachment storage,
  and AI credits, plus add-on subscriptions for credits, runs, records, and
  storage on Pro and above. The open-source Community Edition (AGPL-3.0) carries
  no license fee, shifting cost to self-managed Postgres and infrastructure.
notes: >-
  Seat prices and quotas reflect the published pricing page and may change;
  verify during reconciliation. For self-hosted deployments, model cost as
  infrastructure (compute, Postgres, storage, egress) rather than vendor fees.
