About Standard Notes

Standard Notes is a productivity tool for organising your work. In its own words: Standard Notes helps you gain control in a world that often feels out of control. Protect your life's work with end-to-end encryption, advanced security measures, and unmatched privacy controls.

What the free plan gives you

Free plan with unlimited notes and devices.

Because Standard Notes is open source, the ceiling is your own infrastructure rather than a billing page. Self-hosting costs nothing but your time, and a hosted plan is there if you would rather not run it.

When you would pay

You may never need to. The free tier is not a funnel step here, so the sensible move is to use it until something it genuinely cannot do forces the question.

We list Standard Notes because the free plan was checked against its own pricing page, not because a vendor asked. If it has changed, tell us and we will re-check it.

The free plan in practice

What you can actually do on Standard Notes's free plan (Free plan with unlimited notes and devices), where it stops, and when it's worth paying.

When to upgrade to a paid plan

Standard Notes is open source, so self-hosting is free and unlimited. The only reason to pay is convenience: choose a hosted or cloud option when you'd rather not run and maintain it yourself, or need official support.
