| Which plan to pick | 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. | Start on Free to confirm your apps connect, then move to Professional on yearly billing. Buy the smallest task tier and let Zapier tell you when you are close to the limit, because it is easy to overestimate how many tasks you need. |
