# Plan limits

> What the Free plan includes, what Pro unlocks, and the limits you will actually run into.

Vowen has two plans. **Free** needs nothing at all. **Pro** is a one-time purchase that removes
the limits below. Your current plan is shown in **Settings > Account**, and as a badge at the top
of the sidebar.

## Limits

| Limit | Free | Pro | Resets |
| - | - | - | - |
| Manual file transcriptions | 10 | Unlimited | Never |
| Saved meeting notes | 10 | Unlimited | Never |
| Command Mode runs | 5 | Unlimited | Every day |
| Custom voice shortcuts | 3 | Unlimited | Frees up when you delete one |
| Memory items | 3 | Unlimited | Frees up when you delete one |
| Custom text expansions | 1 | Unlimited | Frees up when you delete one |
| Tones | 1 | Unlimited | Frees up when you delete one |
| Custom utilities | 1 | Unlimited | Frees up when you delete one |
| Dictation | Unlimited | Unlimited | — |
| Dictionary words | Unlimited | Unlimited | — |
| Threads | Unlimited | Unlimited | — |

<Warning>
  **On the Free plan you cannot delete transcriptions or meeting notes.** Because of that, the
  caps on manual transcriptions and saved notes behave as lifetime totals rather than something
  you can clear out. Once you reach ten, the only way to make room is to upgrade.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Built-in text expansions and the default tone do not count against your Free allowance. You get
  your one custom expansion and one custom tone on top of them.
</Note>

There is no limit on how long a meeting recording can be, on either plan.

### If you had Pro and went back to Free

Items you created while on Pro are not deleted. They stay in your lists, but only the number your
plan allows will be active, oldest first. The rest sit there inactive until you upgrade again.
The same thing happens if you sign in on a new machine and your settings arrive from a period
when you had Pro.

  differently.
</Note>

## When you hit a limit

Vowen tells you which limit you reached and offers to upgrade. Nothing you have already created
is removed.
