Cost and limits
What the free plan covers, and when $5 a month helps.
Ownsync runs on your own Cloudflare account. For one person's notes, the free plan is usually all you need. Prices are Cloudflare's, as of November 2026.
Free plan: $0
| What Cloudflare counts | Free, per day | What it means for Ownsync |
|---|---|---|
| Rows written | 100,000 | Every saved edit is about one row. Typing in a note saves roughly every 3 seconds, so this is about 80 hours of nonstop typing a day. The first upload of a vault is about one row per note. |
| Requests | 100,000 | 20 messages from your devices count as one request, so about 2 million messages a day. |
| Active time | 13,000 GB-s | About 29 hours a day of the server actively relaying. It sleeps between edits, so idle devices cost nothing. |
| Storage | 5 GB in total | Notes are small: 1,000 notes took 15 MB in the stress test. Attachments are what fill it. Keep each vault under about 1 GB. |
The counts reset at midnight UTC. If a vault hits a limit, syncing pauses until then. Nothing is lost: your devices keep your edits and send them after the reset.
When you might hit a limit:
- Uploading a vault of 50,000 or more notes, or gigabytes of attachments, in one day. The upload pauses at the limit and carries on the next day.
- A lot of attachments in total, past 5 GB.
Your dashboard shows today's storage, requests and rows written against these limits, and warns from 80%.
Workers Paid: $5 a month
The paid plan swaps the daily limits for much larger monthly ones. Nothing changes in Ownsync.
| Included each month | Beyond that | |
|---|---|---|
| Rows written | 50 million | $1.00 per million |
| Requests | 1 million (about 20 million device messages) | $0.15 per million |
| Active time | 400,000 GB-s | $12.50 per million GB-s |
| Storage | 5 GB | $0.20 per GB a month |
For one person's notes, the $5 covers everything. A vault with 20 GB of attachments would add about $3 a month in storage.
To switch: in your Cloudflare dashboard, go to Workers & Pages → Plans and choose Workers Paid. Your server, vaults and passkeys stay as they are.
