Step-Level Clay Credit & Cost Visibility in Puzzle
T
Team Flanderijn
Hi Puzzle Team,
I would like to request a feature that would significantly improve cost transparency and decision-making within Puzzle.
Currently, it is possible to input manual costs per hour or per month. However, there is no way to display the Clay credits used per individual process step, nor to convert those credits into a monetary value (EUR/USD) at the step level.
Because Clay tables operate per column and per step, costs are inherently generated at that granular level. Without visibility into credits and associated costs per step, it becomes difficult to accurately compare:
* Manual work costs
* Automation flow costs
* AI-powered workflow costs
What would be extremely valuable is:
- The ability to display Clay credits used per individual process step.
- Ideally, automatic conversion of those credits into a monetary equivalent (EUR or USD).
- Clear visibility of these costs within the workflow view, enabling direct comparison between manual and automated processes.
This would make it possible to:
* Monitor workflow efficiency at a granular level
* Make data-driven decisions about automation vs manual execution
* Optimize AI and enrichment steps based on real financial impact
* Better forecast and control operational costs
Since Clay already structures work per column and per step, having matching cost visibility inside Puzzle would create a much more accurate and actionable monitoring system for modern AI-driven workflows.
I believe this would be a highly impactful addition for teams that actively use Clay integrations and want to optimize both performance and cost efficiency.
Thank you for considering this request.
Best regards,
