Pricing

CodeWords offers flexible subscriptions with monthly credits, rollover, and priority support. Start free with $5 credits, then scale your automations with Pro or Max plans.

How CodeWords pricing works

CodeWords offers two types of pricing models:

• Usage-based: A credit-based system that let's you pay as you go.

• Subscription plans: Charged monthly. Receive a specified top-up so you can keep building.

Free credits for new users

When you sign up, you automatically receive $5 in free credits. Use them to test, build, and run automations with zero commitment.

What credits are and how they work

Every action, whether building with Cody or running a workflow, consumes a small amount of credits. This is based on the computational resources and integrations involved.

Credits are used when you:

• Build automations through chat with Cody

• Edit existing workflows

• Run workflows (manual, scheduled, or triggered)

• Use AI, external APIs, or web automation

After you've first run a workflow, you'll be able to see its estimated cost per run from the run page.

There are no idle fees, nor background charges.

We're constantly working on making our pricing more transparent.

You can check your real-time balance anytime in the bottom-left of your screen, or by clicking Account and heading to your Wallet.

FAQs

Are there hidden costs I should know about?

No. Everything you need to know about CodeWords pricing can be found in this documentation page. Our mission is to make our pricing as transparent as possible and we're always looking for ways to improve this.

Why is AI automation pricing so confusing?

We get it, AI automation pricing has long been a confusing aspect of the category. (We don't like how confusing it is either)!

We're working to simplify AI automation pricing by surfacing usage costs and estimated across our platform.

Do you have a free tier?

When you sign up, you'll automatically be given $5 in free credits to test out the platform. Once you're out of credits, you can easily top-up. You can also take part in our Referral Program to get $5 free credits every time you refer someone and they build their first workflow.

What happens if I exceed my credit limits?

CodeWords has guardrails in place which mean you won't ever drop into negative credits. If you have scheduled workflows, and you don't have enough credits for them to run, you'll receive an email notifying you that your workflow failed. In this case, you'll need to top-up your account with more credits in order for your workflows to continue running as normal.

Can I make money from my workflows?

Yes! You can build custom automation solutions for clients using CodeWords as your platform. In the future, we'll be expanding our marketplace.
