Plans and limits
What the Free and Pro tiers include, the limits that apply to each, and how to upgrade or manage your subscription.
taiku has two plans: Free and Pro. Most of taiku works the same on either, sharing, tunnels, plugins, agents, recording, and remote desktop are all available on Free. The plan mainly changes the size of a few resource limits, plus a couple of Pro-only conveniences like reserved subdomains.
You can use taiku without an account at all, but account-linked features (devices, cloud workspaces, plugin storage, integrations, billing) need you to log in.
What each plan includes
| Limit | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Concurrent sessions | 1 | 3 |
| Viewers per session | 3 | Unlimited |
| Terminals per session | 30 | 100 |
| Your open tiles in a session | 8 | 16 |
| Workspace pages | 2 | 5 |
| Tabs per tile | 30 | 60 |
| Cloud workspaces | 1 | 3 |
| Disk per cloud workspace | up to 15 GB | up to 200 GB |
| Windows cloud workspaces | No | Yes |
| Plugin storage | 1 GiB | 10 GiB |
| Reserved (static) subdomain | No | Yes |
| Animated (GIF) profile photo | No | Yes |
"Viewers per session" is how many people can be connected to one of your sessions at once. "Your open tiles in a session" counts everything you have laid out in the session grid together: terminals, forwarded ports, browser tiles, and editor tiles. It is per person, so everyone in a shared session gets their own allowance; "Terminals per session" is the separate ceiling on terminals open across the whole session, whoever opened them. "Reserved subdomain" lets a Pro session keep a stable URL instead of a fresh random one each time, and "Windows cloud workspaces" is the Pro-only option to run a cloud workspace on Windows instead of Linux.
"Concurrent sessions" is how many sessions you can have running at the same
time. Your dashboard shows the count next to Machines, and
taiku sessions prints the same figure
with the list of what is using each slot. Closing a session frees its slot.
"Disk per cloud workspace" is a ceiling, not a reservation: a workspace starts
small and grows automatically as it needs more room, up to the limit shown, so
you don't pre-size anything. You can also grow it yourself with
taiku cloud resize.
When you reach a limit, taiku tells you in context, for example, when you try to open one more terminal, workspace, or cloud workspace than your plan allows, rather than failing silently. Existing work is never deleted to enforce a limit.
Upgrading to Pro
- Open taiku.live/dashboard and go to Settings.
- Click Upgrade to Pro. Secure checkout opens in your browser (in the desktop app it opens in your system browser).
- After payment, your account switches to Pro automatically; the dashboard updates within a moment.
Managing or cancelling
Once you are on Pro, the same Settings page shows Manage subscription, which opens the billing portal. From there you can update your payment method, download invoices, or cancel. Cancelling leaves you on Pro until the end of the current billing period, after which the Free limits apply again.
Your files, sessions, and cloud workspaces are not deleted when you move back to Free, but anything above the Free limits (for example, extra cloud workspaces) may become inaccessible until you remove some or upgrade again.
