Questions About Optimizing Automation Tech Stack Subscriptions

Question for those who are using Airtable as a core element of delivering client services. I'm trying to optimize my Tech Stack and buy the right services. Note: I already pay for a lot of software services and fully willing to subscribe to more - trying to find the right balance.

What I'm trying to figure out is the Airtable strategy. For example - I do a lot of agency content services for my clients - especially clients who don't like tech stuff.

The main question I'm wresting with is: Do I subscribe to one master Airtable account and create separate bases for each client? Or do I push the client to subscribe to Airtable each time and get their own seats (including one more me which seems duplicative).

Also - Google Drive: in the past I've been using a consumer gmail account/drive with purchased extra storage but also have a workspace account from an old project. Does having the workspace account eliminate the O-auth headache with Make? I'm thinking I'll migrate all my Drive storage there - but I also have clients who share Drive folders with me and still have headache of O-auth with Make.

I realize some of these questions have come up in the group but couldn't easily find an answer on this.

My main goal is to invest in the right combination of the product mix so that I can scale to multiple clients (a dozen).

Appreciate any feedback!
