Our free plan gives you access to a Starter Form, which you can share with your end-users. This allows your users to edit existing records in Airtable without the need for a subscription. You can learn more about the Starter Form here.
In addition, you can use all of our fully-featured advanced extensions and automations in trial mode. This mode is meant for internal testing, to see if our products fit your use cases. Advanced extensions cannot be shared with end-users on the free plan.
Once you have confirmed that our products fit your use case you can upgrade to a suitable paid plan to deploy our advanced extensions to your users, or use our automations to their full potential.
Limitations
Extension/Automation Limit
You can have one enabled extension or automation at any given time. Child forms, as well as the Starter Form, do not count towards this limit. If you'd like to create an additional extension or automation, our platform will automatically disable the previous one for you so you can keep exploring!
Advanced Extensions cannot be shared
Form (except the Starter Form), Portal, and Shared View extensions cannot be shared with the public.
The workspace owner and collaborators can use the extensions, but they cannot be shared externally on the free plan. Advanced extensions will show a Trial label on the create page and your dashboard.
When viewing an advanced extension while you're logged in to your miniExtensions account, you will see a yellow notification in the admin toolbar at the top of the screen indicating that this extension cannot be shared with end-users.
Collaborator Limit
You are limited to 2 total collaborators for your workspace.
Automation processing Limits
Automations are limited to processing 100 records per day and will only process 1 record at a time.
The Bulk Download Attachments automation is limited to processing 10 records.
The Bulk Upload Attachments automation is limited to processing one record per run.
The eSignatures.io automation can only be used in test mode (i.e. with watermark).
Some automations are not supported on the free plan (e.g. CSV Exporter).
🤖 Note: You can use a free account to test our ChatGPT automations. However, for certain automations, such as those using the DALL·E image generator, you may need an OpenAI account with available credits or access to a specific pricing tier.

Advanced extensions (i.e. fully-featured Forms, Portals & Shared Views) on the Free plan are limited to internal testing to check if the extension will satisfy your requirements. Internal testing means you need to log into our website on your device to be able to preview the extensions. You don't need to have a paid plan if you're trying to test miniExtensions on mobile, you just need to be logged into your miniExtensions account on each device you want to preview your extension on. If you have multiple miniExtensions accounts, make sure you're logged in to the right account.
Once you find miniExtensions to be a good fit for your project, switch to a paid plan on your settings page or by using the upgrade button on your main dashboard. This will then allow you to share your extensions publicly.
Remember you can always create a Starter extension that you will be able to share with end-users on the Free plan!
