Which plan to pickStart on the free Basic plan to rebuild one report you do every week. If the team needs to share and govern Flows, ask for a Business proof of concept, which is free if it doesn't prove value.Use Free to prove it can read your documents, then pick the plan that matches your monthly page count. Starter is where the cost per page becomes reasonable; yearly billing knocks roughly a quarter off.Build your first agent on Free, then move to Starter once it's doing a real job. Watch your credit use for the first month before you set up more agents. Top-up credits cost $5 per 1,600, with a $25 minimum, if you run short.
