Account, Billing & Plans
Free for individuals
If you're using AIStorageDepot on your own, it's free — no credit card, no trial clock. The free plan includes:
- 10 MB of storage.
- 2,500 MCP / API pulls a month (see Pull allowances).
- Every item type, plus custom types.
- Version history on every item.
- The prebuilt AIStorageDepot Library to browse and copy from.
Want more room on your own? Individual Plus — $5/mo or $50/yr — boosts your pulls 12× to 30,000 a month and your storage 25× to 250 MB. It's still a solo plan (no team creation); the team plans are what add sharing, roles, and scale.
Plans at a glance
The three families — Individual, Team, Company — each have a base and a Plus.
| Plan | Price (mo / yr) | Seats | Teams | Shared storage | Pulls / mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual Free | $0 | — | — | 10 MB | 2,500 |
| Individual Plus | $5 / $50 | — | — | 250 MB | 30,000 |
| Team | $29 / $290 | 10 (+$2/extra) | 1 | 1 GB | 100,000 |
| Team Plus | $49 / $490 | up to 100 (+$0.60/extra) | 1 | 10 GB | 1,000,000 |
| Company | $99 / $990 | up to 1,000 (+$0.15/extra) | up to 1,000 | 100 GB | 10,000,000 |
| Enterprise | custom — talk to sales | custom | unlimited | custom | custom |
Yearly billing is exactly two months free — pay for 10, get 12. The line between the families is simple:
- A Team plan is one shared team — one team library everyone on the plan pulls from, with roles, invites, version history, and the MCP / API. Team Plus is the same team at 10× the seats, storage, and pulls.
- A Company plan is an organization — multiple teams, a company-wide library every member sees, and team & people history (a timeline of who joined, moved between teams, or changed roles). Enterprise (sales-assisted) scales that to thousands of seats with custom pull volume, storage, network controls, priority support & SLA, and volume pricing.
Every paid plan includes roles, invites, member management, the activity log, VPN/IP controls, and the full API.
Extra seats
Every self-serve tier lets you add seats beyond the included count — $2/mo each on Team, $0.60/mo on Team Plus, $0.15/mo on Company — so hiring one more person never forces a plan change. Because extra seats add to the bill, they're an owner decision: the owner turns on Extra seats on the company page (off by default). Until it's on, invites stop at the included-seat cap — admins run the roster up to that line, and anyone past it is told to ask the owner to enable extra seats or upgrade. For scale beyond that, Enterprise is sales-assisted — talk to us.
Pull allowances
A pull is one time an AI tool or script reads content from your library — an agent fetching a prompt, rule, doc, skill, template, or config over the MCP server, the pull CLI, or the REST API.
- What counts: an actual content read — an agent pulling a prompt over MCP (
get_item/search_library/resources/read/prompts/get), or over the REST API reading one item's content (/api/items/:id/bodyor/resolved), its source preview, or a/api/search. - What does not count: using the web app (browsing, editing, or searching in your browser never counts), and the automatic MCP setup calls a tool makes when it first connects (the "handshake" and listing what's available). Only real content reads count.
The free tier includes 2,500 pulls a month; paid plans scale at roughly 10,000 pulls per seat:
- Individuals get 2,500 pulls a month free (~80 automated pulls a day — every real human stays comfortably under it) — no card. Individual Plus is 30,000 (12×) — headroom for automation and heavy agent use.
- Team plans share a large pool (the table above) — 10,000 × the included seats, company-wide, so a few heavy users draw from the same budget. It resets on the 1st.
- Over the pool, pulls drop to a reduced speed (2 an hour) rather than being cut off — nothing is lost, the count resets on the 1st, and the web app is never affected.
- Team Plus and Company can opt into overage instead — an owner-only toggle on the company page (it turns on real charges, so admins can't flip it). When it's on, you stay at full speed past the pool and pay $0.80 per extra 10,000 pulls on Team Plus, or $0.50 on Company, billed monthly. Team doesn't bill overage — they throttle (or contact us for a higher allowance).
The 30-day team trial
Every self-serve team plan — Team, Team Plus, and Company — starts with a 30-day free trial on your first team purchase:
- A card is required at checkout, but nothing is charged for 30 days.
- We email you three days before the first charge — no surprises.
- Cancel any time during the trial: no charge, and nothing is deleted (your libraries follow the usual read-only grace period, so you can still export everything).
- One trial per person. Buying again later after cancelling starts a normal paid subscription.
- Upgrading from Individual Plus converts your existing subscription (prorated, charged now) rather than starting a trial — you're already a subscriber.
Managing your billing
- Upgrade — from the pricing page or the in-app upgrade flow. Upgrades are prorated and charged immediately.
- Cancel — from the billing portal (or in-app for individuals). You keep the plan until the end of the period you've paid for; there are no refunds for unused time.
- Downgrade — move to a smaller plan by cancelling and re-subscribing; a paid period is a paid period.
Storage & grace
Each plan has a storage limit (above). If a library goes over its limit — or a plan lapses — it turns read-only with a 90-day grace window and email warnings. Nothing is silently deleted; you have plenty of time to export or trim. We also never purge accounts for inactivity: step away for a year and your library is waiting.
Payments
Billing runs entirely on Stripe. Your card number goes to Stripe's vault — never our servers or database.
Self-hosted edition
For organizations that can't put prompts in shared SaaS, AIStorageDepot Server deploys on your own Azure or servers with your own database — your content never leaves your network.
- $1,999 one-time — own it forever. Your install never expires and never phones home.
- Moving from a Company plan? Your data comes with you: the owner's company export imports straight into your install (company library, teams, and every member's personal items) with one command from the deployment kit.
- The first year of updates is included; after that, $299/year only if you want to keep receiving new releases. Skipping renewal never affects your running install.
- Sign-in your way: invite-only, or Microsoft Entra SSO pinned to your tenant with domain-based auto-join.
- Buy it online: the Buy now link in the pricing section checks out through Stripe — your license key arrives by email the moment payment clears, along with instructions for downloading the deployment kit (a ~30-minute install for your IT team). Purchasing means you agree to the Server License Terms. Questions first? Email us.
