Onboard's ladder is not Importer's single $19.99 production tier. Publishing a flow does not skip these live entitlement checks. Compare modes and pricing.

Workspace scope

Keys authenticate a workspace. Do not assume a separate physical database per environment unless you isolate it yourself. Mint and revoke keys in the dashboard, not via MCP.
