FAQs
What are "actions"?
Actions represent the total work your agents, apps and automations perform.
If your agent takes an action or your workflow runs a step, that counts as an action.
If a user creates, updates or deletes a row in the Budibase DB or a SQL DB - that counts as one action.
Custom SQL queries and API requests are not included as actions.
- AI agent tool calls
- Automation node executions
- Save row
- Delete row
Why do you price by actions?
Actions directly reflect the amount of useful work Budibase is doing. This aligns pricing with real business value, not just seats or arbitrary limits.
Are actions soft limits or hard limits?
Actions are hard monthly limits based on your selected Budibase Cloud allowance. When you reach your limit, you'll need to increase that allowance to continue running agents and automations.
This ensures:
- Predictable infrastructure performance
- Clear cost control
- Transparent scaling as your action volume grows
Can I increase my monthly actions?
Budibase Cloud packages have different monthly action allowances. If you need more than the included allowance, contact sales to discuss a higher-capacity package and its pricing.
Can I purchase more AI credits?
Paid Budibase Cloud customers can make one-off purchases of extra AI credits. They are separate from the monthly plan allowance and yours to use whenever you choose.
The available USD purchase options are:
- 10,000 credits — $20
- 20,000 credits — $40
- 50,000 credits — $100
- 100,000 credits — $200
- 250,000 credits — $500
- 500,000 credits — $1,000
- 1,000,000 credits — $2,000
Why use hard limits instead of overage billing?
Hard limits keep costs predictable. You always know exactly what you're paying each month with no surprise overages.
What do extra creators and end users cost?
Budibase Cloud offers creator and end-user add-ons on eligible configurations.
Additional creators cost $50 each per month with annual billing, or $60 with monthly billing. Additional end users cost $5 each per month with annual billing, or $6 with monthly billing.
Do add-on prices change with yearly vs monthly billing?
Yes. Eligible add-ons cost 20% more with monthly billing than with annual billing.
Does Budibase offer a free open-source plan?
Yes. Budibase offers a fully open-source self-hosted plan that is free to use indefinitely.
You can build and run apps, agents, and automations on your own infrastructure without software licensing fees.
When should I choose cloud instead of self-hosting?
Cloud is best if you want managed infrastructure, built-in scalability, collaboration tools, AI credits, and support.
Self-hosting is ideal if you require full control over your infrastructure and deployment.
