## Notes

*** Builder:** Enabled users who built or edited an app or workflow during the billing cycle.

**† Internal user:** Enabled users who did not build or edit an app or workflow during the billing cycle. Internal users can be restricted from making edits via the permission controls available on our Business and Enterprise plans.

**‡ External user:** Users that are not part of your organization. Get in touch to learn more about affordable custom external user pricing.

**§ AI credits:** AI credits are pooled at the account level and cover all app building and AI Actions. Credits renew monthly and do not roll over. Annual value of credits is based on total monthly credits over a twelve month contract term. Additional credit packs are available for purchase to customers on paid plans. Enterprise plan customers can also use their own API key, which does not draw from this pool. Agents are billed separately.

## FAQ

### What can I build in Retool?

Apps and automations for the work your business actually runs on, connected to your own data, deployed in your own infrastructure, and governed by your own rules. Most teams use Retool to replace the internal tools they'd otherwise wait months for engineering to build.

### Who can build in Retool?

Anyone who works closely with data and systems: developers, business engineers, analysts, and ops teams. Describe what you need, and the app builder generates a working starting point. Developers can go deeper from there with custom logic, integrations, and component-level control. The builder meets you where you are.

### What's the difference between builders, internal users, and external users?

Enterprise plans can allocate different seat types to reflect how someone uses Retool. Builders are explicitly assigned by admins and can create, edit, and publish apps, workflows, and agents. Internal users are employees who use apps but don't publish changes—they can explore and draft freely without consuming a builder seat. External users are people outside your organization, like partners or clients, who access apps you've built.

### What's new in Retool's app builder?

Retool has entirely rebuilt the app builder from the ground up. The new builder is AI-native: describe what you need, and it generates a working app, connected to your data, that you can refine from there. Apps built in the previous builder continue to work. When you need to distinguish between them, the previous experience is referred to as the classic app builder.

### How can I deploy Retool? Can I self-host Retool?

Retool runs in the cloud or self-hosted in your own VPC. Self-hosted setup takes about 15 minutes via Docker. If your data can't leave your infrastructure, self-hosting is the answer. Enterprise plans support both options.

### Is Retool secure? Where's my data stored?

Retool meets the security and compliance requirements of the most regulated enterprises: role-based access controls, audit logging, SSO, independent workspaces, and full self-hosting. Your queries run against your own data sources. Retool doesn't store your data. See our [security documentation](https://docs.retool.com/docs/security) for specifics.

### Do you offer special pricing or discounts for students, educators, or non-profits?

Yes, [students and educators](https://form.typeform.com/to/ABdF0oDN) can apply for a free Business account. Nonprofits can [apply for 25 free seats](https://form.typeform.com/to/uTWvj32w). Both apply to cloud-hosted and self-hosted plans.

### What are AI credits?

Every Retool plan includes a monthly pool of AI credits—no add-on, no separate billing. Credits are shared across your organization and cover all app building and AI actions.

### How many apps can I build?

Enough for real work. A Business plan includes credits for 36–84 apps per month. If it helps to think in prompts: each AI prompt uses about 12 credits, and a typical app takes 3–6 prompts to build. Credits cover all app building and AI actions. The pool works across however your team builds.

### Do credits roll over?

Credits renew each billing cycle. The base credits included in your plan are permanent. Bonus credits are included now and may change over time.

### What happens if we need more credits?

Upgrade to a higher tier for more monthly capacity. Additional credit packs are available for purchase to customers on paid plans. Enterprise plan customers can also use their own API key, which does not draw from this pool.

### What are agents?

Agents are AI-powered workers that use large language models to complete tasks, make decisions, and automate workflows autonomously. They are billed hourly and do not draw from the AI credit pool.

### Why does Retool use hourly pricing for agents?

It mirrors how teams already value labor: you pay for productive time, not tokens or runs. Hourly pricing scales with real business value and stays transparent.

### Why do hourly rates vary by model?

Different models have different capabilities. More sophisticated models handle complex reasoning and multi-step execution; lighter models handle simpler tasks efficiently. You choose what matches the job.

### What types of tasks are best suited for agents?

Repetitive, multi-step work: support ticket triage, data analysis and reporting, sales follow-up, security alert handling, research, and workflow orchestration.

### What counts as agent runtime?

Wall-clock time from when an agent starts a task to when it finishes, including executing steps, waiting on API responses, and model processing. Idle time waiting for human input is excluded.

### What if I’m not sure how many hours I need?

Start with the free allocation and use the usage dashboard to track consumption over a few weeks before committing to a paid tier.

### Can I use my own model provider keys? Will I pay separately for LLM usage?

Yes. You can connect your own API key. When active, AI calls route through your key, and Retool credits are not consumed—you pay your model provider directly. If you use models provided through Retool, LLM costs are included in your hourly rate.

### What happens when I use all my free agent hours?

Agent execution pauses. You can upgrade to a paid plan to continue without interruption.
