Which plan to pickIf you are connecting your own Claude or ChatGPT to your own apps, Hobby is all you need. Move to Pro when a team or a product of yours starts using it, so usage keeps running past the free cap instead of pausing until next month.Build your first bot on the free Sandbox. Move to Professional when it goes live, and plug in your own Claude or OpenAI API key so you don't run out of message credits. Self-host only if you or someone on your team is happy looking after a server. Prices exclude tax.Core is enough for most small businesses. 10,000 credits goes a long way, because the steps that split a scenario or catch errors don't use any. Move to Pro if a failed run costs you money, since it runs your scenarios first in the queue and keeps better logs.
