What do Pactify Free and Starter include?
Updated 2026-10-04
Plans today
Pactify offers Free (anonymous or registered) and paid Starter. Exact counts always come from your account / pricing and server usage—docs use approximate client fallbacks only when the UI shows a number.
Feature × plan (summary)
| Capability | Free | Starter |
|---|---|---|
| Search (Sidepanel Chats) | Yes — everyday (incl. anonymous) | Yes |
| Export Markdown Download / PDF | Yes — unlimited | Yes |
| Export Notion / Word / Google Docs | Yes — monthly quota | Wider / unlimited |
| Free export footer on MD/PDF | Yes | No |
| Sync / Auto-Sync | Yes (new-session + ~90d window) | Yes |
| Bulk History Sync | No | Yes (ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini) |
| Distill / Context | No (button hidden) | Yes — not shown on Copilot chats |
| Cmd+; picker | Yes (library may be empty) | Yes |
Capacities availability is a server preference—not a local override. Notion and Capacities share the Free new-conversation Sync pool (first sync to either destination can count).
When you hit a limit — what you see
| Limit | Where it shows | Exact / typical copy | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly new Sync conversations | Header Sync → Upgrade (green); click opens Upgrade page (not the Sync modal) | You've reached this month's limit of {N} new conversations. Upgrade to Starter for unlimited sync. (N from server; client fallback 30) | Upgrade to Starter, or wait for the next month |
| Near monthly Sync limit (≤5 left) | One-time warning toast | Free quota almost full ({n} new conversations left this month)… | Optional upgrade; Sync still works until the hard cap |
| Free Sync update window (~90 days) | Header Sync → Needs attention → open Sync modal (top error callout) | This conversation's free sync window (90 days) has ended. Upgrade to Starter to keep updating it. | Upgrade to keep updating this thread; new chats may still Sync within monthly new-session quota |
| Monthly Export (Notion / Word / Google Docs) | Export dialog / toast | Monthly export limit reached. Upgrade to Starter for unlimited DOCX / Notion / Google Docs exports. | Use Markdown Download or PDF (unlimited), or upgrade |
| Distill on Free | No Distill button (fail-closed) | — (edge: Distill requires a Starter plan. Upgrade now →) | Upgrade to Starter |
| Bulk on Free | Sync modal Bulk section | Bulk History Sync is available on the Starter plan. + Upgrade → | Upgrade to Starter |
Sync button labels and the Sync modal error banner are explained in Sync to Notion. Export toasts: Export. Distill: Distill.
Anonymous vs registered Free
| Identity | Account UI | Cloud Sync |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous Free | Free (Anonymous); Sign in (no Upgrade to Starter in Account) | Local index works; cloud Sync needs sign-in + Notion/Capacities |
| Registered Free | Free + Upgrade to Starter | Sync within Free quotas after Connect Notion |
Frequently asked questions
What can I use for free every day—export, sync, or search?
Markdown Download and PDF (unlimited), Sidepanel Search over chats indexed on this device (including anonymous), and Sync within Free new-session / ~90-day update limits. Notion, Word, and Google Docs share the monthly export quota. Distill and Bulk need Starter.
What are the exact Free and Starter limits?
Always on pactify.io account / usage responses. Docs intentionally omit hard-coded counts except when the UI shows a fallback (e.g. 30 new conversations).
Why does Sync say Upgrade?
Monthly new-conversation Sync quota exhausted. Click Upgrade to open pactify.io/upgrade—it does not open the Sync settings modal. The 90-day free update window instead shows Needs attention with a callout inside the Sync modal.
