[Verified] Teable free tier: 200 AI credits and 1,000-row limit, upgrade to Pro costs US$12/month

Teable pitches itself as a no-code spreadsheet and database platform with AI built in. But the free tier is tightly capped: 200 AI credits per month (used for AI features like summarization and smart queries), a hard limit of 1,000 rows per space, and only 100 automated workflow runs monthly. For teams and power users, paying starts at US$12 per seat per month.

What the free tier actually gives you

The free tier is positioned as “for individuals” and includes the core features: AI chat to query data, AI fields to auto-generate values, the App Builder to create dashboards, and CuppyClaw (an AI chatbot that works in Slack, Telegram, and WhatsApp for data operations). You get all view types (grid, form, kanban, gallery, calendar), CSV import/export, a Web API at 10 requests per second, and 1GB of file storage per space. The catch: those 200 monthly AI credits evaporate fast if you’re using the AI features, the 1,000-row ceiling means one moderately-sized dataset fills your space, and automation is capped at 100 runs per month. History retention is poor too—run logs and row-change records disappear after 2 weeks, unlike paid plans that keep them for a year or longer.

Pro plan and the credit mystery

The Pro tier costs US$12 per month per seat (US$10 monthly if you pay annually) and lifts most limits dramatically: 1,000 AI credits monthly, 25,000 automation runs, 250,000 rows per space, 10GB storage. But here’s the friction: the pricing page doesn’t explain what a credit actually costs in operations. One AI field calculation, one AI chat query, one smart export—how many credits does each burn? The vendor page is silent. Without that clarity, buyers can’t predict whether 200 credits is two weeks of work or two days.

Business plan for teams that need SSO

The Business plan at US$24 per month per seat (US$20 annually) is where compliance features land: single sign-on (SSO), domain verification, and a permission matrix for role-based access control. The quotas climb again—2,000 monthly AI credits, 100,000 automation runs, 1,000,000 rows per space, 100GB storage. If you’re a small team that’s outgrown free but doesn’t need enterprise features, this is likely overkill.

🔍 AMPM exclusive check

We verified the free tier limits and paid pricing directly against the official pricing page on 2026-09-22. Every number matches. No gap between what the vendor claims and what we found—the stated quotas are accurate. However, what Teable doesn’t disclose clearly: the cost in credits per operation (AI field, AI chat, etc.) is not published, so free-tier users can’t calculate how long 200 credits will last for their workload. Additionally, free-tier history retention at only 2 weeks is a notable downside for audit or debugging, but it’s stated on the pricing page.

☀️ AMO, the budget-minded cat

For a solo user or very small team managing one lean dataset, the free tier can work. US$0 cost, and you get the full feature set: dashboards, automation, API access, plus the AI tools (AI chat, AI fields, App Builder, CuppyClaw). The 1,000-row limit is bearable if you’re tracking a list of leads, projects, or clients—under a thousand records each. The 100 monthly automation runs (one per run, not batched) is tight; if you have a workflow that fires 3 times a day, that’s 90 runs per month and you’re nearly out of budget by day 27. The real pain is the 200 AI credits. Without the credit-per-operation breakdown, it’s risky to rely on them; you could use up your entire monthly allotment in a few complex queries. For someone building a proof of concept, learning the platform, or managing a very small internal list, free is worth the friction. But the moment you’re handling more than one small dataset or running automation daily, you’ll bump into the ceiling. Then Pro at US$12 per seat per month (or US$10 monthly on an annual plan) becomes the obvious next step, unlocking 1,000 credits, 25,000 automation runs, and 250,000 rows—a massive jump. Annual billing saves 17% (US$2/month per seat).

🌙 PIMI, the performance-minded cat

Performance and reliability matter more than free. Pro at US$12/month unlocks enough capacity to run actual business workflows: 1,000 credits monthly is a workable budget for daily AI queries (though still unpredictable without per-operation pricing), 25,000 automation runs is 800+ per day, and 250,000 rows handles most small-to-medium datasets without constraint. The real performance bottleneck isn’t the quota—it’s the 2-week history retention on free; Pro extends that to 1 year for row changes, which matters for debugging and compliance. If you’re at a growing company or managing shared data, the Business plan at US$24/month (US$20 annually) pays for itself through SSO alone (no more password resets, OAuth integration with your existing directory) and the permission matrix (role-based access without custom scripts). Business also doubles the AI credits to 2,000 and gives you 1,000,000 rows per space—effectively unlimited for most use cases. History retention jumps to 3 years for row changes, which is valuable for audit trails. For teams using automation heavily, the jump from 25,000 runs (Pro) to 100,000 (Business) is meaningful; you can run more frequent workflows or handle more concurrent processes. Neither plan charges a per-operation rate; you pay a fixed monthly seat fee plus optional add-ons (extra AI credits at US$24/month per space, US$20 annually). That predictability is worth the subscription cost over wrestling with unknown credit consumption.

Verdict: who should use it, who should skip it

Use Teable’s free tier if you’re experimenting, building a personal project, or managing a single small dataset under 1,000 rows with light automation. Skip it if you need more than 100 monthly automation runs or plan to use AI features heavily (the 200-credit budget is opaque and likely exhausted quickly). Upgrade to Pro (US$12/month per seat) if you’re a small team with multiple datasets or automation-heavy workflows; it’s the practical floor for production use. Business (US$24/month per seat) is for teams that need SSO, role-based permissions, or 1-year+ audit trails—worth it if compliance or large-scale collaboration is a requirement. If you’re hesitating between free and Pro: Pro is usually the better bet, because the free tier’s tight history retention and credit budget are silent killers of reliability.
