The result is a CRM where the entire outbound workflow - call, log, send follow-up email, schedule next call, move pipeline stage - happens without switching applications.

The Meeting Notetaker transcribes and summarizes every Zoom, Teams, and Meet call on all plans.

Key capabilities include: Deploy Previews (a live URL for every branch or pull request), serverless and edge functions for backend logic, managed Postgres with per-preview database branching, Agent Runners for Claude Code and other AI coding agents, AI Gateway for LLM integrations, built-in forms, user Identity management, and one-click rollbacks.

Credits are a unified billing unit consumed across: production deploys (15 credits each), compute for functions and database (10 credits per GB-hour), web bandwidth (20 credits per GB), web requests (2 credits per 10,000), and AI inference (varies by model). Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance - Free (300), Personal (1,000), Pro (3,000). On the free plan, credit limits are hard caps with no auto-recharge: when reached, all projects on the account are paused until the next billing cycle.

From the Netlify dashboard, you can invoke these agents on live projects to build features, fix bugs, update content, and ship code changes, with every change going through a Deploy Preview before reaching production. Netlify's design choice is to support multiple external agents rather than building a proprietary in-house agent, which means teams are not locked into Netlify's own AI quality and can use whichever agent works best for their workflow. Agent Runners are available on all plan tiers.",{"question":840,"answer":841},"What is Netlify Database and how does database branching work?","Netlify Database is a fully managed serverless Postgres service that integrates natively with the Netlify deployment workflow. The key differentiator is database branching: every Deploy Preview automatically receives an isolated Postgres branch forked from the production database. This means that when a developer opens a pull request, they get a live preview URL with a matching database branch that reflects the current production data - schema migrations and code ship together in the same environment. When the preview is closed, the database branch is automatically torn down.

The Pro plan at $20\u002Fmonth flat with unlimited seats and 3,000 credits is genuinely competitive for small teams, but the credit model introduces cost unpredictability for projects with variable traffic or frequent deployments.
