FAQ

Questions people will actually ask before they choose a plan.

The basics, the limits, and the upgrade triggers, all in one place.

How does the Pro trial work?
SpyVault Pro starts with a 14-day free trial in Stripe. Signed-out visitors are sent through sign-in first, so checkout opens only after SpyVault knows which account the subscription should belong to.
What can I do on Free?
Free is for public discovery. You can browse public archives, read public chat, keep your default workspace, and use the lightweight daily AI allowance, but you cannot post in public chat or upload private documents.
What do I get with Explorer?
Explorer is the public-archive power-user plan. It adds monthly AI credits, public-chat posting, private workspace team chat, and up to 3 workspaces, while still staying out of private document uploads.
When should I upgrade to Pro?
Upgrade to Pro when you want to bring in private documents, create unlimited private workspaces, and collaborate in private workspace team chat. That is the main jump from public research to serious private investigation.
What makes Team different from Pro?
Team is built for shared operations. It keeps the private-document workflow from Pro, but adds shared billing, pooled AI credits, stronger collaboration controls, and the structure needed for a real team account.
How much storage is included?
Pro includes 1 GB of private storage. Team includes 20 GB of private storage. If you need more than the standard included amount, SpyVault should route you to special pricing for larger allocations.
How many workspaces do I get?
Free includes 1 default workspace. Explorer includes up to 3 workspaces. Pro and Team include unlimited private workspaces.
Can I collaborate before I buy Pro?
Yes, but with limits. Free users can be invited into other workspaces as guests, and Explorer adds stronger collaboration through private workspace team chat and guest invites without unlocking private document ownership.
Can Free users post in public chat?
No. Free users can read public chat, but posting in public chat starts on paid plans.
What happens after I click a paid CTA?
If you are not signed in, SpyVault asks you to sign in first so the subscription or trial can be attached to the correct account. After that, paid CTAs open secure Stripe checkout.
