What each column means
Admins — how many team members with administrative access you can invite. API keys — how many active keys you can create. A key is per team and per service, so a key for another Octavia product does not count against this. Languages — how many languages you can register. Articles can only be written in a language that exists, so this caps how many locales you can publish in. Forms — how many forms you can create. Submissions — the total number of form submissions stored across all your forms. Storage (MB) — total media and file storage for the tenant. AI tokens — the AI credit pool. This is the one that surprises people: it is consumed, not a count of resources. Every AI call draws from it, and the amount depends on the operation and the size of your input. File size caps — the largest single image, video, audio file, or document you can upload. Media compression — whether uploaded media is compressed automatically. Compression level —1 is fastest with the least compression, 3 is the smallest
file. Higher levels cost more processing time.
Enterprise is fully custom. Every limit above is negotiable, and
limits outside this table can be arranged too. Contact support to discuss volume,
retention, or a bespoke arrangement.
How limits are enforced
Limits are per tenant, and they apply across every API key you hold — adding a second key does not give you a second allowance. Counted resources (admins, keys, languages, submissions) are checked when you try to create one more. Once you are at the limit, the create is rejected with426 and nothing
is written.
AI tokens are checked with a projection. The API estimates what your request will
cost before running it, and rejects the call if used + estimated would exceed the
limit. A single large request can therefore fail even when your current usage looks low.
Not enforced by the API today. The forms, storage, and
file-size limits in the table above are plan entitlements, but the public API does not
currently reject requests against them. The dashboard still measures storage and media
compression, and it applies all of them at the plan level. Do not build logic that
expects a
426 from these.Choosing a plan
Free
Enough to build and run a single-language site. One admin, one key, one locale, three
forms.
Plus
For a growing team publishing in a few languages, with more forms and a larger AI
credit pool.
Pro
For a production content operation: eight languages, fifty forms, and 150,000 AI
tokens.
Enterprise
Every limit is negotiable, including ones not listed here. Talk to us about volume
and custom terms.
Reducing usage
If you are hitting a quota before you are ready to upgrade:- Cut submissions. Export and archive old form submissions you no longer need.
- Trim media. Large images and video dominate storage usage. Compressing before upload is usually the biggest win.
- Batch AI calls. Generation and translation are the heaviest token consumers. Do them in bulk during off-peak hours rather than one request at a time.
- Set a token budget per feature. If you have a dashboard, treat AI as a metered dependency and cap what each feature can spend.
