# Plans and limits

> What UpFork's plans include, the daily limits, and what counts against them: using a product counts, looking never does.

Every member is on a plan: Free, unless they pay for another. Plans bring **UpFork's own products**, and each plan
includes everything in the plans before it. The [pricing page](https://upfork.dev/pricing) has today's plans, prices and limits, and
what each includes.

## Which products come with a plan

- **UpFork's own products** either come with a plan (Free or a paid one) or are sold on their own, at the same price
  for every member.
- **Developers' products never come with a plan.** They're free, or bought from their developer, whatever your plan.

A product's card and page say which plan it comes with. One that comes with a paid plan can't be bought on its own:
join the plan, or a later one.

## What counts against a plan

A plan's limits cover three uses of UpFork's products that come with a plan:

| Use | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| Download | A release file, a ZIP of the code, or an install with the shadcn CLI |
| AI prompt | Copying the product's AI prompt |
| Demo | Opening its demo in a tab of its own |

A limit is a number a day or a month (UTC). It can also cover the three together. Your account page shows what you've
used today.

## What never counts

- **Looking:** product pages, live previews, and the code view on a product's page.
- **The same thing twice in a day:** the same product, the same use, the same UTC day count once. Downloading a file
  again, or the CLI fetching the same product twice, costs nothing more.
- Developers' products, free ones included, and UpFork's products sold on their own.
- Products you bought.

## When limits come back

Daily limits come back at 00:00 UTC, and monthly ones on the 1st of the month. When one runs out, the site and the CLI
say so, when it comes back, and which plan gives you more.

## Buying a plan

- A plan is bought for a month or a year, in USDT, like any order ([Paying with USDT](https://upfork.dev/docs/paying)). A year costs
  twelve months less the plan's discount.
- Nothing renews by itself, since USDT can't be taken from a wallet. You're reminded by e-mail before your plan runs
  out, and when it has, with a button to renew.
- Moving to a dearer plan starts it at once. The plan you were on waits and resumes afterwards with the time it had
  left, so no paid day is lost. A renewal, or a cheaper plan, runs after the time you have.
- When a plan ends, you're back on the plan below it in your timeline, or on Free.
