What's the main difference between the Starter, Professional, and Enterprise editions?

Starter is cloud-only for basic flat file prep. Professional adds advanced prep, 100+ connectors, and scheduling. Enterprise adds full governance, API triggers, and deployment flexibility.

Can I use Alteryx for free?

Yes, there is a free 30-day trial that provides access to the Alteryx One platform.

What are 'Automation Runs' and how do they work?

Automation runs are metered units that measure the execution capacity of scheduled and orchestrated workflows. Editions include a set number, with the option to purchase more.

How does the 'in-database processing' feature work?

It pushes data preparation and transformation operations directly to the source database (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks), reducing data movement and leveraging cloud scalability.

What is 'Agent Studio'?

Agent Studio is a feature that allows users to build custom AI agents and conversational interfaces that can execute Alteryx workflows and interact with data.

How do user types (Viewer, Basic, Full Creator) map to editions?

Editions define platform capabilities, while user types define access levels. Starter only allows Basic Creators; Professional allows Basic and Full; Enterprise adds Viewers.
