Your plan & billing
How the trial, the plan, editors, and billing work - and where to manage all of it.
The trial, then one plan
Every account starts with a 30-day free trial of the complete product - nothing held back, no card required. The point of it is not to preview RowFold but to build something you actually run, so you can import real data, invite the people who'll use it, wire up automations and connect your other tools during the trial.
After that there is one plan: $29/month per editor, from the first one — no minimum, no bundle and no band to fall into. Three editors is $87/month; ten is $290. Pay yearly and it's two months free.
You are charged for editors, never for records, tables or relationships, and there is no tier above you holding features back. Read-only Viewers are free and unlimited - stakeholders can watch dashboards without taking a seat. If your trial ends without a subscription, nothing is deleted: your work is waiting when you subscribe.
What counts as an editor
An editor is a person who can change things: Admins, Editors, and Contributors across the workspaces you own, counted once each even if they're in several of your workspaces. Read-only Viewers are always free, so stakeholders can watch dashboards and reports without costing anything. People you've invited who haven't accepted yet are free until they create their account. Someone who only submits a public form, or emails a table's address, never gets an account at all - so they never become an editor.
Seats adjust themselves
Invite someone mid-month and the extra seat is prorated onto your next invoice; remove someone (or make them a Viewer) and the unused time comes back as prorated credit. You never file a seat-count change by hand - RowFold syncs it to Stripe automatically and reconciles nightly.
Subscribing covers your whole team
One subscription per customer: when you subscribe, everyone in the workspaces you own keeps full access - they don't each need a plan. Teammates can check Settings → Plan & billing to see whose plan covers them.
Manage everything from Settings
Settings → Plan & billing is the one place: subscribe (checkout is handled by Stripe - RowFold never sees your card), switch monthly ↔ yearly, update the card, download invoices, or cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal; your data stays exactly as it is, and if the trial or plan lapses everything is preserved read-only until you're back.
AI fair use
Every AI feature is switched on for everyone - there is no "AI tier". What is bounded is volume, so that one runaway account can't spoil it: each month your account includes 500 AI actions per editor, pooled across everyone on your plan. Five editors therefore share 2,500, and one heavy user simply draws from the pool. Trials are pooled the same way, so you can evaluate properly.
An AI action is one thing you asked for: an Ask question (however many steps it takes behind the scenes), a build-mode turn, generating a dashboard or its summary, an AI-designed schema or hierarchy, an AI import mapping, or one run of an AI automation step. Answers that fail or fall back to the built-in analyzer never count.
Help search, field suggestions, and the weekly digest are not counted - they're part of the product, not something you spend. The allowance resets on the 1st of each month, and your current figure is on the Settings → Plan & billing card. If you run out, only the AI pauses - grids, views, reports, dashboards, automations, forms and the API all keep working exactly as before. If you genuinely need more, email support@rowfold.com and we'll sort it out; these numbers are set to be generous, not to catch people.
Tips
• Make execs and stakeholders Viewers - they see everything you allow, and they never count toward the bill.
• Yearly billing is two months free and one invoice for accounting to file.
Good to know
• Transferring a workspace moves its billing too: the new owner's plan covers it, and your seat count drops accordingly.
