Structa
Plans & Billing
Free tier, Pro plan, trials, and subscription management.
Install before March 31 and get Pro free forever. No credit card required, no strings attached.
Free Plan
The free plan is perfect for getting started and managing a small number of metaobjects. No payment method required.
What's Included
- Edit up to 3 metaobject definition types
- Create up to 5 entries per definition type
- Access to basic field types (text, number, date, rich text, etc.)
- Basic editing and bulk operations
- CSV export functionality
Understanding the Limits
Definition types: Each unique metaobject template counts as one definition. For example, if you create templates for "Blog Authors," "Product Reviews," and "FAQ Items," that's 3 definition types.
Entries per type: For each definition you use, you can create up to 5 individual entries. Once you hit this limit, you won't be able to create new entries for that definition until you upgrade.
When You Hit Your Limit
As you approach or exceed the free plan limits, a banner will appear in the app prompting you to upgrade. The banner shows how close you are to your limit, a button to visit the Plans page, and information about paid plan benefits.
If you've already exceeded your limits and want to stay on the free plan, you'll need to delete some definitions or entries to get back under the limit.
Pro Plan
Upgrade to unlock unlimited editing and access all premium features.
Everything in Pro
- Unlimited metaobject definitions — create as many definition types as you need
- Unlimited entries — no restrictions on how many entries you can create per definition

When Your Trial Ends
When the 14-day trial expires, your subscription automatically converts to the paid plan and you'll be charged according to your billing schedule. The app will remind you several days before the trial ends so there are no surprises.
If you want to cancel the trial before it ends, you can do so from the Plans page at any time without being charged.
