Inktally has two plans: Free and Pro. Both use the same encryption. The difference is in scale and automation.
Free
Free covers the use case "I have one specific thing I want to hand off to one specific person." Most people stay here forever, and that’s fine. We don’t lose anything by you being on Free except a little revenue, and you don’t lose anything by being on Free except automation.
What’s included:
- Up to 3 documents (notes are unlimited), within 100 MB total.
- One recipient.
- One account-wide trigger of any type — a dead-man’s switch, a scheduled date, or manual release.
- Recovery via a fixed pair of trusted contacts (2-of-2).
- The in-app audit log.
Pro
Pro is for people whose plan is more elaborate than one document for one person. It’s for executors with multiple beneficiaries, for anyone with several future-dated handoffs, and for those who want the decoy vault’s plausible deniability.
What Pro adds:
- Unlimited documents and recipients.
- Per-document and per-group triggers (not just one account-wide rule).
- Customizable recovery — up to 7 contacts with your own threshold.
- The decoy vault (a second vault for plausible deniability).
- Executor delegation.
- Audit-log export + on-demand chain verification.
- 1 GB storage.
- Mobile app (when it ships).
When to upgrade
Honest answer: when you find yourself wishing for one of the Pro features. We don’t recommend pre-upgrading "just in case." The Free tier is genuinely usable on its own, and Inktally gets more valuable as you use it, not as you spend on it.
Downgrading
Drop back to Free any time. If you’re over the Free-tier limits when you downgrade, your existing data stays intact — we just prevent you from adding more until you’re back under the cap (or upgrade again). Existing Pro-tier triggers continue to function for any cycle that was already scheduled before the downgrade.
