Free Tier Value

FTV score
Est. value $6.00 / month
Credit card Not required
Feature parity 72%

This free tier is a genuinely usable capped plan: no credit card is required, and it includes collaboration, API access, pages, hooks, and basic storage, but with tight limits on records, throughput, file size, and backups. Compared with the cheapest paid Standard plan at $19/month, it delivers roughly a third of the practical capacity, so about $6/month is a fair buyer-style estimate of its monthly value.
