Row Limits and Tiers
Every FileBender account belongs to a tier that determines how many rows a single input file can have, which output formats are available, and how many flows you can save. This page lists the exact numbers and explains what happens when a limit is reached.
Tier limits
Section titled “Tier limits”| Limit | Free | Starter | Pro | Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rows per input file | 5,000 | 100,000 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Saved flows | 3 | 10 | 30 | Unlimited |
| Output formats | CSV, JSON | CSV, XLSX, JSON | CSV, XLSX, JSON | CSV, XLSX, JSON |

What happens at the limit
Section titled “What happens at the limit”Row limit exceeded
Section titled “Row limit exceeded”The Input node rejects the file and shows an inline error with the row count and your tier’s cap. The flow does not run and nothing is silently truncated. You can either:
- Filter or split the source file outside FileBender to bring it under the cap.
- Upgrade to a higher tier for a larger (or unlimited) row allowance.
Flow limit reached
Section titled “Flow limit reached”You cannot create new flows once you hit your tier’s cap. Existing flows continue to work. Delete a flow to free up a slot, or upgrade your tier.
Output format restricted
Section titled “Output format restricted”If your tier doesn’t include a specific output format (for example, XLSX on the Free tier), the Output node for that format shows a tier-upgrade prompt when you try to add it. Input nodes for all formats work on every tier.
Shared flow execution limit
Section titled “Shared flow execution limit”Each shared flow link has a cap on how many times it can be executed by recipients. Once the cap is reached, the link stops working. The flow owner can see the execution count in the flow settings.
