# Plans and pricing

> The free Demo plan gives you 100 cards, unlimited clusters and unlimited free collaborators. Creator costs $25/mo billed monthly or $20/mo billed annually, and changes exactly three things — the card cap is removed, any file type can be uploaded, and per-file size limits are gone, on a 100GB drive.

Two plans. The difference between them is deliberately small and deliberately
honest — three enforced limits, listed below, and nothing else.

## Demo — free

- **100 cards** to build with
- Unlimited clusters and boards
- Free collaboration — invite editors to any cluster

## Creator

**$25/mo** billed monthly, or
**$20/mo** billed annually
($240/yr, saving $60/yr).

- Unlimited cards — build without a ceiling
- Any file type — `.psd`, `.fig`, `.zip`, video, audio, docs
- No size limits, on your own **100GB** drive

## What is genuinely limited

Exactly three things:

| | Demo | Creator |
|---|---|---|
| **Total [cards](/docs/canvas/cards)** | 100 | Unlimited |
| **[File types](/docs/files)** | Standard media | Anything |
| **Per-file size** | Video 30 MB · audio 50 MB · PDF 50 MB | No limit |

Everything else is the same on both plans.

> **Note:** Clusters are **not** capped. Neither are collaborators, editing,
> sharing, [public links](/docs/collaborate/sharing), comments, documents,
> [screenplay mode](/docs/documents/screenplay) or the
> [API](/docs/api). Images have no size cap on any plan.

## Whose allowance

The **cluster owner's**, always.

Cards and files added to someone else's cluster count against them, not you.
This is what makes free editors work — see
[Collaborating](/docs/collaborate).

## Hitting the cap

You are told when you reach it, and offered the upgrade. Nothing you have
already made is removed, locked, or hidden.

You can also raise your own cap without paying: [referrals](/docs/account/referrals)
grant bonus cards when someone you invited actually gets started.

## Billing

**Settings → Billing** shows your plan, the storage meter, and a link to the
Stripe customer portal for payment details, invoices and cancellation.

Annual and monthly are the same product. Annual is cheaper per month.

## Free forever

The Demo plan is not a trial. It does not expire and it does not degrade. If
100 cards is enough for what you do, that is a complete
account.
