Billing FAQ
No. Local GNO is free, open-source, and MIT-licensed. Install it and use every feature on your own machine without ever creating an account. gno.sh publishing is a separate hosted layer for when you want to share a note beyond your laptop.
10 published notes, 3 published collections, 1 GB of asset storage, public URLs, and a subtle “Published with GNO” footer on every shared page. No card required. No trial. It stays free.
Secret links, invite-only spaces, and 50 GB of storage unlock with Pro ($9/mo). End-to-end encrypted shares, white-label, custom domains, and team seats unlock with Team ($29/mo). You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from the billing page.
Not today. The Free tier is genuinely free with no time limit — use it as long as you need to validate the product. Upgrade when you hit a feature or quota wall, and downgrade freely if it isn’t the right fit.
gno.sh uses Better Auth for sessions and Polar for subscriptions. One identity, one paywall, entitlements derived from billing state. No second user system, no manual plan toggles.
