Budibase Creator Seat Ceiling

Budibase prices by creator, not by end user: Pro is $19/month per user with 1 creator and 1 workspace, Premium is $49/month per creator with 10 workspaces and custom branding, and Business is $299/month per creator with 3 creators and unlimited workspaces. That structure means an agency can put an internal request or approval tool in front of dozens of client staff cheaply, but every additional person who needs to build or edit apps consumes a paid creator seat. The framework: before quoting a retainer, count how many client-side people will touch the app builder. A single-creator deployment fits the $499/mo Starter Internal Tool offer at 16h setup plus 3h/mo. The moment a client asks for a second internal builder, margin compresses unless you move them to Premium or Business and reprice. Sell the seat count into the contract, not after delivery.
