Omniteca's pricing page has three buttons and about a dozen words of copy under each. That's deliberate — but it also means the actual difference between Free and Pro can look thinner than it is, right up until you hit the wall it's built around. Here's exactly what changes when you upgrade, and just as important, what doesn't.
Free isn't a trial, it's a mode
"Free" doesn't expire and it isn't a stripped-down build of the app — every category, every share source, every part of the dashboard is the same app you'd get on Pro. What's capped is the number of saves the AI actually reads and extracts: 5 a month, plus a one-time +5 signup bonus the first month you sign up. Save something past that cap and it doesn't bounce or disappear — it just comes in as a plain link, no extraction, until next month's saves reset. You can still organize what's already in your library in the meantime; you just won't get ingredients pulled out of a new recipe video until the counter resets or you upgrade.
What unlimited link saves actually buy you
The part that's easy to miss: plain-link saving stays unlimited on Free, full stop. That's a different shape of limit than most competitors set. Compare it to a link-only tool like Raindrop, where saving is the whole product and everything is capped together — here, the save itself never runs out. Only the AI reading it does.
Free isn't the demo. It's the mode where you decide how much extraction you actually need.
What Pro actually adds
Three things, and only three:
- Unlimited AI saves — every save gets full extraction, no monthly counter to watch.
- Priority extraction — your saves go to the front of the processing queue at peak times (evenings, weekends), instead of behind the Free-tier backlog.
- Early access to new categories — when Omniteca adds a category, Pro users get it before it rolls out to everyone else.
That's the same shape most AI-native save tools use — mymind included: you pay to remove the extraction ceiling, not to unlock features that were hidden away on Free.
Picking a billing option
Pro comes in three billing options, and which one makes sense depends on how long you actually need unlimited extraction. Weekly (€1.99) suits a short, specific burst — a trip you're planning, a move, a wedding — where you want everything extracted for two or three weeks and nothing longer. Monthly (€6.99) fits regular, ongoing use once saving becomes a habit rather than a project. Yearly (€69.99) is the best value of the three if you already know you're going to keep using it — it comes out cheaper than eight months on the monthly plan.
What stays free no matter what
A few things aren't tiered at all. Referrals pay out the same for everyone — give 10, get 10 AI saves when a friend signs up with your link, with a bigger reward if they go on to upgrade. Full export, JSON or CSV, is free on every tier — your library is yours whether you're paying for it or not, and nothing about upgrading changes that. If you're using Omniteca to build something closer to a personal knowledge base out of what you save, that structure works exactly the same on Free as it does on Pro — the categorization isn't the part you're paying for.
See what fits your saving habit — start free, upgrade only when the counter actually runs out on you.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to my saves if I downgrade from Pro to Free?
Nothing gets deleted. Every save you made on Pro stays in your library and stays exportable — Free just caps you at 5 new AI-extracted saves a month going forward, plus the one-time signup bonus if you haven't used it yet, with unlimited plain-link saves either way.
Do I lose anything by staying on the free tier forever?
No feature is hidden behind a paywall — Free gets the same categories, the same extraction quality, and the same full export as Pro. What changes is volume: 5 AI-extracted saves a month instead of unlimited, and Pro gets priority extraction plus early access to new categories first.
Which Pro billing option should I pick?
Weekly (€1.99) suits a short burst — a trip, a move, a wedding you're planning — where you want unlimited AI saves for a couple of weeks and nothing longer. Monthly (€6.99) fits ongoing regular use. Yearly (€69.99) is the best value if you know you're a keeper — it works out cheaper than eight months of the monthly plan.
