Gotchas
- 100 MB remote storage
The free tier provides only 100 MB of remote (cloud-synced) storage; local storage on-device is unlimited.
- 10 shared channels
Free accounts are limited to 10 shared (collaborative) channels; unlimited private channels are included.
- No ANY ID (custom name)
The free tier does not include an ANY ID (unique handle/domain in the Anytype Network); ANY ID requires a paid Plus plan or above.
- No SSO or admin panel
Enterprise features like SSO, admin panel, and team workspace management require the Business plan.
- No education discount on free tier
Students and educators can get 50% off paid plans but the free tier remains the baseline; this is a feature of paid plans only.
