Plans and limits
What the free plan does, what a paid plan changes – and what is never locked away.
The principle #
NODE64 does not lock features behind a plan. A free account gets the same evaluation, the same catalogs, the same alerts. What a plan changes is volume, cadence and retention.
That is a deliberate decision: a security platform that shows you the critical vulnerability only after an upgrade is not a security platform.
What differs #
| Free | Supporter | Business | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Devices | a few | more | many |
| Check interval | hourly | 15 minutes | 15 minutes |
| Retention | 7 days | 90 days | 365 days |
| Team | – | yes | yes |
| PDF reports | basic | full | full |
The exact numbers are on the pricing page – that is the binding source, this table the overview. Sonar has had no plan limit at all since 22 August 2026 – see Measurement network.
Retention #
The period applies to history: uploads, pulse values, measurement results. Open findings do not expire – a problem does not go away by getting old.
After moving to a smaller plan, older data is trimmed to the shorter period.
On the free plan #
The free plan is not a demo mode. It shows fewer individual findings per category – but critical and high ones in full. Where something is trimmed, it says so ("showing 3 of 12"), so you know there is more.
