What are Airtable credits?

Airtable credits are credits users and collaborators earn by inviting new users and collaborators. These credits can then be applied to a workspace where they can be used to pay for or offset future billing costs. Note that newly referred users/collaborators must accept their invitation before any Airtable credits are transferred to your account.

What are AI credits?

AI credits in Airtable grant access to and enable AI-powered features—like Omni, AI field agents, document analysis, web research, and more. Each AI action uses a certain number of credits, depending on the complexity and the amount of data processed.
