What are automation credits?

Automation credits are the usage unit for Sheetgo paid plans and overage calculations.

Written by Jessica

Automation credits are the usage unit Sheetgo uses to measure how much automation work your product runs. They replace the older transfer terminology.

How automation credits work

An automation uses credits when it runs and moves, splits, merges, generates, or sends data. The number of credits used depends on what the automation does and how many outputs or operations are executed.

Examples

  • A simple spreadsheet-to-spreadsheet automation usually uses 1 automation credit per run.

  • A merge that combines 3 source files into one destination usually uses 3 automation credits.

  • A split that sends data to 20 destinations usually uses 20 automation credits.

  • An automation that sends personalized emails can also consume credits for the email output it executes.

How credits fit into plans

Paid plans include a monthly amount of automation credits. If usage goes above the included amount, standard paid plans can charge overage for occasional extra usage.

Need more predictable usage?

If your team expects recurring high usage and wants to avoid frequent overage, contact Sheetgo Sales to discuss an Enterprise plan with custom automation credit limits.

Legacy terminology

Older articles may still mention transfers. In current pricing and product language, those should be read as automation credits.
