Pay for more room, not for basic safety

How pricing works

• Unlisted sharing, private ownership, passwords, sealed-link mode, and standard short-lived retention stay free.
• Credits expand cost-bearing capacity like file storage, delivery bandwidth, longer retention, and heavier API or automation usage.
• The current payment path is a one-time BTCPay top-up experiment, not a recurring subscription program.

Current credit packs

These packs add account credits in the current hosted BTCPay experiment. They are for expansion of limits and workflow headroom, not for unlocking the trust baseline itself.

Billing data boundary

• Pastey stores internal purchase ids, BTCPay invoice ids, pack metadata, and fulfillment status so credits can be reconciled honestly.
• Pastey does not store card numbers, bank data, wallet seeds, or raw private keys.
• The hosted BTCPay experiment currently fulfills directly to the signed-in account after settlement.
• Manual vouchers remain available separately when a more account-optional path is needed.

What stays free

• Anonymous text sharing and unlisted-by-default links.
• Private Pasteys, passwords, and sealed-link mode.
• Standard short-lived retention and limited-view controls.

What credits expand

• Attachment storage and delivery bandwidth.
• Extra attached-file slots and longer retention windows.
• Higher API and automation budgets for heavier scripted usage.

Start a top-up

Top-ups start from account settings so credits can be applied after settlement without emailing or persisting raw voucher codes in the app.

Provider boundary

BTCPay observes hosted checkout activity and settlement. Pastey only keeps the minimum billing metadata needed to reconcile and fulfill purchased credits.
