Flows pricing is based on consumption, with each Postman plan including a monthly allocation of credits. Eligible plans can enable pay-as-you-go to continue usage beyond their included credits. You can use the [Resource usage dashboard](http://go.postman.co/billing/add-ons/overview) to track credit consumption and manage billing settings. ## Flows access and included credits All plans include a baseline number of Flows credits each month so you can explore and use Flows. | Feature | Free | Solo | Team | Enterprise | | --------------------------- | ---- | --------- | --------- | ---------- | | Flows complimentary credits | 25 | 50 | 100 | 500 | | Pay-as-you-go Flows credits | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Pay-as-you-go AI credits | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | | RBAC | No | No | Yes | Yes | | Private Flow runner | No | No | No | Yes | | Snapshots per flow | 10 | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Credits are allocated monthly per team and do not roll over. ## View flows usage To check your team’s current credit usage, click your avatar on the top right and select **Billing & resource usage**, then click **Resource usage** to open the [Resource usage dashboard](http://go.postman.co/billing/add-ons/overview). When your team reaches its monthly credit limit: * Flows that are currently running complete. * New runs that require credits are paused. * You can enable pay-as-you-go (if available on your plan) to continue usage. ## How Flows consume credits Credits are deducted when Flows run, based on the blocks used and where they execute. Only blocks listed in the following pricing table consume credits. There are two types of runs: * **Manual runs** (clicking **Run** in the app) only consume credits for blocks that run in the cloud, such as AI and connector blocks. However, if you have **Cloud Run** enabled when you test a flow on your local canvas, it runs in the cloud and consumes credits. Local canvas * **Automated runs** (triggered using API or MCP) consume credits for HTTP requests and logic blocks, in addition to AI and connector blocks. This usage-based model supports everything from simple API calls to complex AI-powered workflows. ## Premium block pricing ### Post–March 1, 2026 | Block type | Local canvas | Cloud / cloud canvas | | ----------------------- | ------------ | -------------------- | | HTTP Request | 0 | 1 | | AI Request | 0 + BYOK | 1 + BYOK | | Evaluate | 0 | 1 | | Evaluate with Packages | 0 | 2 | | If | 0 | 1 | | Condition | 0 | 1 | | Validate | 0 | 1 | | Integration (Connector) | 2 | 2 | Premium blocks are blocks that execute code or perform external operations. ## AI Agent models and tools The **AI Agent** block consumes credits based on the models and tools used during a block run. | AI Agent models + tools | Credits per run (all run types) | | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | | External MCP tool (per unique tool) | 2 | | Internal (Flows-hosted) MCP servers | Free | | GPT-5 | 10 | | GPT-5 mini | 2 | | GPT-5 nano | 1 | | GPT-4 | 25 | | GPT-4o | 15 | | GPT-4o mini | 2 | | Sonnet 4.5 | 10 | | Haiku 4.5 | 2 | | Sonnet 4 | 5 | External MCP tool charges apply once per agent block run. For example, if the block is called in a loop 3 times, it's charged 3x2=6 credits. The number of credits consumed by AI models is subject to change. ## AI media models AI media generation is billed based on the model used. | Model | Quality | Credits per run | | ---------------- | ------- | --------------- | | GPT-image-1.5 | Medium | 50 | | GPT-image-1 | Medium | 65 | | GPT-image-1-mini | Medium | 15 | ## Pay-as-you-go credits If your plan supports it, you can enable pay-as-you-go to continue using Flows after your included credits are exhausted. * Additional credits are billed at **\$1 per 1,000 credits** * Credits are billed based on actual usage * Monthly included credits do not roll over. Enterprise teams can purchase additional credits or discuss custom usage with their account team. Pay-as-you-go is turned off by default. To activate it, click your avatar on the top right and select **Billing & resource usage**. Click **Resource usage** to open the [Resource usage dashboard](http://go.postman.co/billing/add-ons/overview) and turn on **Pay-as-you-go** under **Flows Credits**. ## Private Flow runner Private Flow runner is available only on Enterprise plans. | Team type | Access | | ----------------------- | ------ | | Free | No | | Solo | No | | Team | No | | Self-serve Enterprise | Yes | | Sales-served Enterprise | Yes |
