ArbolKin combines a limited free plan, paid plans for active families, clear storage, and limits that protect family work without turning every viewer into a purchase decision.
Plans connect permissions, storage, and family workspace limits so a family can start small and expand capacity when needed.
Viewers are free to avoid family invitation friction
Owners, admins, and editors count as billable members
Workspace storage and limits are validated with server-side rules
Plans balance storage, collaboration, and support so each family workspace has clear and sustainable limits.

The workspace owner would be responsible for the subscription. The family can invite viewers without turning every relative into a purchase decision.
Owners, admins, and editors count because they can manage, change, or upload content. Viewers do not count as billable members.
Each plan includes a media quota. Near the limit, the product should warn before blocking uploads or suggesting an upgrade.
If a family downgrades, it keeps read access while resolving member, tree, or storage limits before creating more content.
The limits are intentional: they protect infrastructure costs without punishing invitations for relatives who only want to view or comment.

The structure avoids promising unlimited storage. Before charging, each limit must map to infrastructure, support, and sustainable margin.
Database, authentication, private storage, signed URLs, backups, and growth by active families.
Hosting, serverless functions, bandwidth, previews, and performance for public pages and the app.
Invitations, magic links, digests, checkout, customer portal, payment fees, and retry flows.
Sentry, alerts, error investigation, documentation, and human support for non-technical families.
Photos, documents, videos, thumbnails, downloads, possible processing, and egress when memories are viewed.
The free plan needs clear limits so families can try the product without creating unlimited cost.
Billing belongs to the family workspace. Permissions, limits, and plan changes are managed centrally so every relative has clear access based on their role.

These answers explain how plans work for family workspaces.
The family workspace owner manages the workspace subscription. Each relative does not need to manage a separate bill.
No. We do not want inviting grandparents, cousins, or relatives who only browse to become a barrier.
The product should warn before the limit, block new uploads if necessary, and offer an upgrade or file cleanup.
The family should keep reasonable read and export access during a grace period, but not create content beyond the active plan.
Yes. If prices change, they will be communicated before changes apply to an existing subscription.
ArbolKin is designed so the product can grow without relying on unlimited storage, improvised support, or confusing billing rules.
