What is free and what is paid

Eight things cost money. Everything else in Ropenode is free, permanently, including all of the safety machinery.

Pro

	Free	Pro
Projects	3	unlimited
Concurrent sessions	3	unlimited
Projects Grid	—	yes
Jira	—	yes
Mail inbox	—	yes
FTP deploy	—	yes
MCP servers	—	yes
Work log	—	yes

That is the entire list.

How the project limit works

Free is three projects and three agents at a time. The project half is three separate rules, and it helps to know which one you have met:

• Keeping projects. Free holds three projects. To add a fourth, archive one you are done with from All projects (⌘) — archiving is reversible and deletes nothing.
• Opening projects. A fourth project tab is refused, and the dialog that says so can close one of the three for you and open the one you asked for.
• Running agents. Agents start only in the three projects at the front: your open tabs first, then the most recently used. Any other project stays readable, diffable and committable; it just will not start an agent until you close another tab.

How the session limit works

A session counts while its agent is attached — an open agent console, even an idle one. Free runs three at once. Closing a console frees its slot straight away. The limit never stops a session that is already running; it only declines to start one more, and the refusal says how many are running.

Free, and staying free

• Safe Agent Edits
• Per-turn undo
• Git
• Agent console
• WSL projects
• Editor, diff and search
• Terminal dock
• Sessions Grid

The safety features are free permanently, on every tier. Charging for the thing that stops an agent wrecking a client repo would be charging for the seatbelt.

Over the limit

Nothing is hidden and nothing is deleted. A project beyond the free limit stays visible, readable, searchable and committable — you simply cannot start a new agent session in it until you close another project or upgrade.

This matters if a licence lapses: your work is never held hostage. See If a licence lapses.

The model is not included

Ropenode drives the claude and codex CLIs and never holds a model credential, so your Anthropic or OpenAI subscription is bought from them, at their price, with no markup from us. See Your model provider account.
