What the Free plan is genuinely good for
The Free plan is not a crippled demo. You get unlimited workspaces, the full editor, nested folders, collections, search, tasks, encryption, public sharing with comments, the GitHub and Google Drive integrations, and full import and export. For a single person writing and publishing markdown, it is a complete product.
The limits you will meet first are 100 documents and 5 uploaded images. See 02 Limits and Quotas.
What Pro is for
Pro exists for two kinds of people.
Writers who want a safety net and reach:
- Version history — every save captures the previous version, with line-by-line diffs and non-destructive restore. See 06 Version History.
- Autosave — saves a few seconds after you stop typing, per document. See 05 Saving, Autosave and Drafts.
- Private sharing by email — share a document or a whole collection with named people instead of a public link. See 02 Private Sharing by Email.
- Knowledgebase collection shares — a shared collection with a homepage and full-text search.
- Custom domain — serve your share links from your own domain. See 03 Custom Domain.
Anyone connecting MDflow to code or AI:
- Personal Access Tokens, the HTTP API, and the remote MCP server. See 01 Personal Access Tokens.
This last point has a consequence worth understanding clearly, because it is not obvious:
Anything that authenticates with a Personal Access Token requires Pro. That includes the Web Clipper browser extension, the VS Code and Cursor extension, the n8n node, and any script or AI agent you connect. A Free account can install and sign in to these tools, but every request returns a
Pro plan requirederror until the workspace owner upgrades.
The one exception is the iOS app, which does not use a token and is not Pro-gated at all. See 02 iOS App.
Free-tier errors you might see
- Unauthenticated API or MCP requests return
401. - Requests from a Free workspace return a
Pro plan requirederror (HTTP403). - Passing the document or image cap returns a specific limit error rather than silently failing.
Starting, managing and ending Pro
- Start a 7-day trial from the login page or from Settings. No card is needed to begin, and you can cancel any time during the trial.
- Manage billing, payment method, invoices and cancellation from Settings, through a secure checkout and billing portal.
- If a subscription ends, the workspace returns to the Free plan.
One thing to know before cancelling: version history is removed when a workspace returns to the Free plan. Free accounts accrue no history, and existing history does not survive the downgrade. Your documents themselves are untouched — only the recorded history of past versions goes.
Machine-readable pricing is published at https://mdflow.cz/pricing.md, so an AI agent can determine what a workspace's plan allows.
