How to choose in this category
- Estimate your monthly runs first: the cheapest row is only the cheapest at a particular volume.
- Free rows here cap runs rather than features — read the allowance, not the label.
- A workflow that fires on every record multiplies quickly; count the triggers, not the scenarios.
