NeuralRepo offers a generous free tier with access to all core capture channels and a Pro plan for power users who want unlimited ideas and advanced AI features.
Yes. Export as JSON, CSV, or a Markdown archive (one Obsidian-ready note per idea, with
frontmatter and [[wiki-links]] for relations) on every plan. You always own your data.
Your ideas are preserved and never deleted. What changes:
Creating new ideas is blocked while you hold more than 50. Everything else about your
existing ideas still works — edit them, retag them, move their status, archive them,
search them, export them.
Relations and the mind map become view-only.
Duplicate detections stop being shown (they keep being recorded).
Auto-tagging switches from AI to neighbour-borrowing.
The AI agent, BYOK keys, and email capture become unavailable. Stored BYOK keys are kept,
just hidden.
API keys you already have keep working, at the free rate limit of 100 requests a day.
Get back under 50 active ideas — archive a few — and capture resumes without upgrading.
Your account switches to the free plan. All your data is preserved. You keep access to all core capture channels (web, CLI, MCP, Claude Code). Features like unlimited semantic search, duplicate detection, auto-tagging, and AI agent switch to free-tier limits or become unavailable. You’ll see warnings at 5 days and 1 day before expiration.
Yes. All core capture channels — web app, nrepo CLI, Claude MCP connector, and Claude Code skill — are available on the free plan. The 50-idea limit is the primary gating mechanism.
nrepo login mints its own API key for you, so the CLI works without a Pro plan even
though generating keys by hand in Settings ▸ API Keys is a Pro feature. Two MCP tools,
link_ideas and unlink_ideas, are Pro-only because they create relations.
How does the semantic search limit work on the free plan?
You get 10 semantic searches per calendar month, counted in UTC and reset on the 1st.
The eleventh search returns keyword results instead, with a notice explaining why. The
counter is incremented when the search starts, so a semantic search that matches nothing
still uses one.
Go to Settings > Billing and click Cancel Subscription. Your Pro features remain active until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to the free tier.
