Data storage & data usage

Every plan includes 10 GB of data storage plus monthly data usage (downloads & streaming) — 100 GB on Shelter and Shelter Plus, 50 GB on Rescue — measured per organization. Usage beyond these allowances creates additional charges in whole blocks, so even part of an extra block is charged at its full block rate.

Data Storage
$20/mo
per started 10 GB above your included storage. Recurring storage charge.
Data Usage
$20/block
per started 100 GB above your calendar-month download/streaming allowance. Billed after that month.

Data storage and downloads/streaming are measured per organization. Every plan includes 10 GB of data storage; monthly data usage includes 100 GB on Shelter and Shelter Plus and 50 GB on Rescue. Beyond that, additional data storage is $20/month per 10 GB block or part of a block. Storage charges follow the stored amount and applicable prorations. Additional data usage is $20 per started 100 GB over your calendar-month allowance, whether you’re 1 GB or 99 GB over. Transfer overage is billed automatically afterward on a separate invoice, including for annual subscriptions; it is not a recurring pre-purchased transfer add-on. Reducing future usage does not erase a completed month’s overage. 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. All prices in USD; applicable taxes are additional.

AI assistance optional · Shelter Plus

Speed up data entry with AI: pull an animal’s details from a photo, a document or scan, or a typed note, and draft adoption bios — every result is a suggestion your staff review before saving. Returning-animal detection (spotting a re-surrender or return) is included free on Shelter Plus.

AI Features
$20/mo
includes 100 credits/month — plenty for everyday intake.
Extra AI credits
$20/block
optional overage — +100 credits, only if you turn it on.

AI features are an optional add-on for Shelter Plus at $20/month, which includes 100 credits — each AI action (photo intake, document extraction, fill-from-text, adoption bio) uses a credit or two. You’re never charged beyond the monthly price unless you opt in to overage, which adds 100 credits for $20 per block. Returning-animal / duplicate detection is included on Shelter Plus at no extra cost. Add-ons are prorated and can be changed or cancelled in the subscription settings. AI charges are in addition to the base plan and any media-usage charges. All prices in USD; applicable taxes are additional.
