What people look up most

Every one of these is a section that exists, linked by the name it uses for itself. The eight questions below this panel are answered in full further down the page.

Most frequently asked questions

The eight we are asked most. Pricing has the rest, and the client-portal page has the ones about running a view per client.
Does my client need an Attio seat?

No. They open a link. There is no account with us and no seat in your workspace. On a gated view they enter a password or an email address, and nothing more.

Do you charge per viewer?

No, on any plan. A hundred people or ten thousand people opening your view costs the same. There is a fair-use ceiling on monthly visits to catch scrapers, and crossing it starts a conversation rather than breaking your view.

How often does the view check Attio?

On a paid plan we check Attio every 5 minutes up to 500 records, every 15 minutes up to 5,000, and hourly up to 50,000. Free views check every hour. Every plan has a Sync now button, and the view shows when it last updated.

Does a viewer's edit go straight into Attio?

Not unless you ask for it. By default it waits for you: every edit lands in your dashboard as a pending change, shown beside the value Attio holds now, and we write nothing until you approve it. A view can be switched to apply changes without approval. They are still recorded, with the value each one replaced.

Can two clients share one view and see different rows?

Yes, with per-viewer row scoping, on the Pro plan. It matches one attribute on each record against the address the viewer confirmed, so the same link is a different set of rows for each of them. A viewer who has confirmed nothing sees no rows rather than all of them.

Can I put a view on my own domain?

No, on any plan. Every published view is served from a publicviews.app link, and that is the link to give people. It is on the roadmap, and we would rather say no here than sell you a hostname that resolves to our marketing site.

What happens when the engagement ends?

Pause or unpublish the view. It stops resolving on the next request and every viewer session is signed out with it. The cached rows stay on our side, unreachable while the view is down, and your configuration is kept, so the same page can come back if the client does.

Is the free plan a trial?

No. It does not expire and we do not ask for a card. One view, read-only, with our badge on it. If that is all you need, keep it.

Can't find what you're looking for?

These pages are the ones that are accurate rather than the ones that fill a tree, so the gap may be real. Ask, and the answer usually becomes one of them.
