Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

AI credits are consumed quickly - each AI field lookup or automation can use 10-50 credits. Heavy AI users will need to purchase additional credit packs at $25-100/month

2

Automation runs can be exhausted fast with complex workflows. Exceeding limits requires plan upgrades or reducing automations

3

Record limits are per base, not per workspace. Large datasets may require splitting across multiple bases or upgrading for higher limits

4

Extensions are limited on Free (0) and Team plans. Premium extensions like Salesforce sync require Business tier at $45/user/month

5

Synced tables count against limits - Free gets 0, Team gets 10, Business gets 20. Complex data architectures hit these limits quickly

6

Annual billing is required for best rates - monthly billing adds 20% to costs

7

Attachment storage limits are easily exceeded with images, PDFs, and files. Overages may require plan upgrades

8

Two-way sync with external tools (Salesforce, Jira, etc.) requires Business plan minimum

9

SAML SSO is Business tier only - no SSO on cheaper plans even for security-conscious teams

10

Implementation and data migration costs can run $5,000-$50,000+ depending on complexity and existing systems

Example: True Cost for 25 Users

License (25 × $24 × 12) $7,200/yr
Implementation (one-time) +$15,000–$50,000
Premium Support (20%) +$1,440/yr
Training (25 × $500) +$12,500
Admin (part-time) +$15,000–$25,000/yr
Year 1 Total $35,800–$71,520
That's 1.8–2.5× the advertised license price.
