# Plans and limits *What the Free and Pro plans include, what counts toward the Free limits, and what happens when you reach them.* Online version: https://promptmason.ai/docs/plans PromptMason has two plans, Free and Pro. Both include every feature. The only difference is how many blocks and prompts you can keep. For prices, see [Pricing](https://promptmason.ai/pricing). ## Free and Pro | | Free | Pro | |---|---|---| | Features | Every feature | Every feature | | Blocks | Up to 25 | No limit | | Prompts | Up to 15 | No limit | Pro is for one person, on up to 3 of their own computers. Team libraries, sync, backups, AI assist, Chat, connected apps and the Chrome extension all work on Free. So does the local model, PromptMason's own AI model that runs on your PC. It costs nothing extra on any plan. Every download starts with 14 days of Pro, with no key. When the 14 days end, PromptMason moves to Free unless you activate a Pro key. The 14 days are a trial of Pro, not a third plan. A key is only for people who buy Pro. See [Your trial and license key](https://promptmason.ai/docs/license) for how the trial and keys work. ## What counts toward the Free limits - **Every library on this PC.** Your personal library and every team library on this PC count together, whether you created the team library or joined it. - **Archived items count.** Archiving a block or prompt doesn't free a place. - **Items in Recently deleted don't count.** Deleting a block or prompt frees its place straight away. Restoring it from **Recently deleted** is checked like making a new one. See [Archive, delete and restore](https://promptmason.ai/docs/archive-and-delete). - **Embedded blocks don't count.** A block that lives inside one prompt only isn't a library block. See [Library blocks and embedded blocks](https://promptmason.ai/docs/embedded-blocks). - **Markdown documents count as prompts.** They share the same 15. See [Markdown documents and Skills](https://promptmason.ai/docs/markdown-documents). - **Chats, variables, folders and comments don't count.** ## See how much you use On the Free plan: - The **Blocks** screen shows "*n* of 25 blocks" at the top, next to **New block**. - The **Prompts** screen shows "*n* of 15 prompts" at the top. - Click **Settings** in the sidebar, then **Plan**. Under **Your plan** you see **Blocks** and **Prompts**, each with how many of the limit you use. ![The Your plan row on the Free plan, saying the 14-day trial has ended, with 20 of 25 blocks and 4 of 15 prompts used and a Buy PromptMason Pro button, and the License key box under it.](https://promptmason.ai/images/docs/plans-settings-plan-pane-free.webp) On Pro, the counters don't show, because there's no limit. ## When you reach a limit PromptMason checks before it opens a new block or prompt, not after you've written it. If adding one more would go over the limit, the **Free plan limit** window opens instead of the form. It says how many you have, and that archived items count. ![The "Free plan limit" window saying the Free plan includes up to 25 blocks, with Upgrade and OK buttons.](https://promptmason.ai/images/docs/plans-free-plan-limit-window.webp) The same check runs before you copy, duplicate or import. A copy of several items or a whole folder either fits completely or doesn't happen at all. If it doesn't, the window says how many it would add and how much room you have left. In the window: - **Upgrade** opens the checkout in your browser, where you can buy Pro. - **OK** closes the window. Nothing was created. To make room without buying Pro, delete blocks or prompts you no longer need. Deleted items go to **Recently deleted**, which doesn't count. The window says to permanently delete items, but moving them to **Recently deleted** is enough; you don't need to empty it. Archiving doesn't help, because archived items count. ## If you're over the limits Being exactly at a limit (25 blocks, or 15 prompts) is fine. You can end up with more than the Free limits in these ways: - Your 14 days of Pro or your Pro license end, you remove it from the PC, or PromptMason couldn't check it for 14 days, and you have more than the Free limits. For example, your 14 days of Pro are over and you have 40 prompts. - On the Free plan, you join a team library, or teammates or your other PCs add items to a library you share. Those items count too, and they aren't stopped at the limit. - On the Free plan, you choose **Add anyway** for a block pack bigger than the Free plan. PromptMason asks first ([Add a block pack](https://promptmason.ai/docs/block-packs#on-the-free-plan)). Your library is then paused: you can see, search and export everything, but you can't add, edit or copy until you're within the limits again or you activate Pro. Nothing is deleted. See [When your library is paused](https://promptmason.ai/docs/paused-library). ## Team libraries on Free Team libraries work on Free, but their blocks and prompts count toward your limits on every PC that holds them, together with your personal library. When you join a team library on the Free plan, the **Join a team library** window reminds you of this and shows how many blocks and prompts you have now. If joining takes you over 25 blocks or 15 prompts, your library is paused until you're back within the limits or on Pro. See [When your library is paused](https://promptmason.ai/docs/paused-library) and [Team libraries](https://promptmason.ai/docs/team-libraries). ## Want a hand?
