Billing
Billing questions.
One execution of one workflow, end to end — whether it contains two nodes or forty. Paused runs that resume from a human gate are still a single run. Retries inside a step never count as new runs.
Prices in USD. LLM provider costs metered per token and passed through at cost, itemized separately. Annual billing: ten months per year on Starter and Pro.
