BuildShip - New Credit Based Pricing with Flexible options

Tutorial

·

Nov 14, 2024

Our primary objective with the upcoming release of BuildShip V2 is to provide our users with ultimate flexibility, scalability, and transparency in building workflows and managing product backends. Every design decision we've made so far reflects this commitment, including our highly flexible workflows and advanced node editing capabilities.

We now want to extend this same flexibility ethos to our pricing model, so you can choose a plan that best aligns with your specific needs and business goals. As part of the BuildShip V2 launch, we are introducing a new credit-based pricing model that lets you pick and choose to tailor a plan to your use case.

Credit based pricing

Based on your feedback, we are transitioning from a time-based pricing model to a simpler credit-based system. In this new system, a credit is used to execute tasks or nodes on BuildShip.

  • Every node run deducts 1 credit (most nodes on BuildShip fall under this category)

  • For larger nodes customized to run for >3 seconds, every additional second counts as a credit.

As an example, if a custom node takes 5 seconds to run, then 3 credits gets deducted.

Your subscription plan includes a monthly allotment of credits, which are consumed each time a node runs. You can also purchase additional credits on any plan for as little as $1 to get 10K in credits and you get further discounts with bulk buying of credits. The credits you buy as “Top up” do not expire.

1 credit = $0.0001 (or get even further discount of 25% if you bulk buy credits)

10,000 credits = $1

We’re running a special launch promo on our annual plan with massive discounts and a one-time bonus of 100k–1M non-expiring credits! Don’t miss out—this offer is available only until December 2024.

Monitor and track usage

We have also added the ability for you to see the complete breakdown of your workflows and their credit usage. You can "Top-up" credits on any plan and enabled "Auto Top-up" option with budget limits.

To illustrate our pricing in simplistic term, think of it much like creating a pizza. You’ll start with a base and can choose from one of the following pricing tiers that your business or product stage demands.

For individuals or small teams

  • Free: Perfect for quickly spinning up projects to test out new ideas. You get a flavor of all the functionality without even having to take out your credit card. Explore to see if BuildShip is the right fit for you and use them in your hobby projects.

  • Starter: Ideal for makers or small teams. Invite your team to collaborate and start creating powerful workflows

  • Pro: Designed for teams looking to scale their operations. With priority support, you get the help you need to ship and scale your ideas.

For organizations

Our platform offers enterprise-grade features designed to help your business scale without significantly increasing costs. You have the flexibility to self-host on your own infrastructure, allowing you to manage your cloud billing and optimize compute costs. Benefit from all the production-grade features that empower you to build high-quality products.

  • Business: BuildShip becomes the core of your business.

  • Enterprise: Customized to meet the specific needs of your organization. Self host or run on your infrastructure with at compute cost on your cloud billing.

You can checkout our pricing page for an in-depth and detailed breakdown.

Pick and Choose Add-ons

In every plan, apart from the core features offered, you can now pick any advanced features that you would like for your usecase. This means, you can now have "Custom Domain" in Starter plan along with "No Cold start" - which previously was only possible in the Pro and Enterprise plans.

We understand that some projects might not require that additional bump up in "base" price but would still want to benefit from the advanced features that your business demand. You get to decide what works best for you :)

Unlimited Draft Workflows to Explore Ideas

Did we say you its an unlimited all you can eat pizza party! Well not quite but close :)

You can draft any number of workflows, clone and explore templates to your heart's content. Only shipped active works count towards your plan.

We also added a handy indicator to showcase in green which workflow are active, so you can easily identify and keen live workflows

The real question: How do we stack up against other tools?

We conducted a comprehensive analysis and confidently offer you best-in-class pricing and flexibility. Compare our pricing page to other popular automation tools, and you'll see that we’re at least 10x more affordable!

Beyond pricing, we provide customization and flexibility that allow you to dive into the code of each node, personalize it, and even create new nodes with AI. You can leverage any NPM package and API to build an automation solution that scales like a product-grade backend. With enterprise-ready features and self-hosting options, you can deploy workflows at compute-cost pricing while enjoying the ease of visual, no-code workflow building.

As your company grows, our plans adapt to your needs—no vendor lock-in or black-box limitations with code access, github connectivity to manage deployments, version control, comprehensive logging, manage your own cloud billing and much more. Explore our enterprise features here.

What do you need to do?

  • Starting today, you’ll be switched to our new pricing! Since there’s no change to existing plans, your plan's monthly charge stays the same if you are an existing user.

  • Please note that previously, there was no way for you to see how much execution was being charged per flow. Now, you will be able to access a clear dashboard that shows how many credits are used per workflow over time. Additionally, we had not strictly enforced the plan limits associated with each tier; however, we will begin enforcing these limits from now on.

  • As a thank you for being an early supporter, you are grandfathered into the current plan's advanced functionality add-on for the next year.

  • For a limited time, until December 2024, if you switch to the annual plan, you will receive not only a 25% discount but also a significant one-time bonus credit, which ranges from 100,000 to 1 million credits, depending on your plan. Thank you for being with us!
