Hi Avinash,
Thank you for the detailed review and the video — we really appreciate you taking the time to test Teable with real data and share your experience.

Regarding your concern about credit consumption: we've heard similar feedback from other users and have come up with a solution that better balances user value with long-term sustainability.

We know the initial setup phase can consume more credits, and usage typically becomes much lower during normal day-to-day use. In most cases, ongoing usage mainly comes from automations (1 automation action = 1 credit). To help you get fully set up and transition smoothly into regular usage, we will grant all AppSumo users an additional 2 months of credits upfront as a one-time top-up.

For example, if you purchased Tier 4:
Monthly credits = 6,000
One-time top-up = 6,000 x 2 = 12,000
Total available in Month 1 = 18,000
The extra 12,000 does not reset monthly and will not disappear — it remains available until you use it up.

This feature is expected to go live in the next few days. Once available, you can view your credits under Space icon (top-left) → Billing.
After your included credits are used up, we've also enabled an add-on credit option for AppSumo users that you can purchase based on your needs.
We want to be transparent: credits in Teable are provided at cost — we make no margin on them. For more details, we've published a founder post here: https://appsumo.com/products/teable/#news-updates
