How many credits do I need

Typical Workflow Cost Calculation

1. Base Cost: Every workflow has a base cost of 1 credit.
2. Action Costs: Most actions cost 0 credits, but some premium actions have additional costs. For example: 
   • WillowSign: 3 credits
   • Upload to SharePoint/OneDrive/Google Drive/Dropbox: 0 credits
   • Convert to PDF: 0 credits
   • Stamp/Watermark/Highlight/Redact: 0 credits

Example Workflow

Let’s consider a typical workflow with the following actions:

• Approve: 0 credits
• WillowSign: 3 credits
• Upload to OneDrive: 0 credits

Total Cost: 1 (base) + 0 + 3 + 0 = 4 credits per file

Monthly Credit Usage for a Small Company

Assuming a small company processes around 100 files per month through a workflow similar to the example above:

1. Number of Files: 100 files
2. Cost per File: 4 credits

Total Monthly Credits: 100 files * 4 credits = 400 credits

Assumptions and Variations

• Workflow Complexity: If the workflow includes more premium actions, the cost per file will increase.
• File Volume: The number of files processed can vary significantly based on the company’s size and industry.
• Workflow Changes: Editing workflows and restarting files can also affect credit usage.

Example Scenarios

1. Basic Workflow (e.g., Approve + Upload to OneDrive):
   • Cost per File: 1 (base) + 0 + 0 = 1 credit
   • Monthly Credits: 100 files * 1 credit = 100 credits
2. Advanced Workflow (e.g., Approve + WillowSign + Upload to OneDrive + Convert to PDF):
   • Cost per File: 1 (base) + 0 + 3 + 0 + 0 = 4 credits
   • Monthly Credits: 100 files * 4 credits = 400 credits
3. High Volume Workflow (e.g., 200 files per month with a basic workflow):
   • Cost per File: 1 credit
   • Monthly Credits: 200 files * 1 credit = 200 credits

These examples provide a general idea of how credit usage can vary. The actual number of credits a small company uses in a month will depend on their specific workflows and file processing needs.
