## Plans

| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Personal | $0 | — | flat | Labelled 'Free forever' on the pricing page. Notes, tasks and calendar, mobile apps, and installation on Windows or macOS as a PWA. Two caveats printed right on the card: file uploads are capped at 5 MB and the plan is 'licensed for non-commercial use' — and customer support is explicitly marked 'not included'. Every new account also starts with a free two-week trial of Pro features. | amplenote.com |
| Pro | not priced monthly | — | flat | Published as '$5.84/month + tax • billed annually' (wording confirmed verbatim in the page markup); the page shows no month-to-month rate, so monthlyUsd is null rather than 5.84. Adds the native desktop app, Graph View, the Peek/sidebar note viewer, two-way sync with a Google or Outlook calendar, 6 colour themes, tag sharing for group collaboration, Table of Contents insertion and file uploads larger than 5 MB. No annual saving percentage is printed on the live page. Downgrading or switching billing cycle requires emailing support rather than self-serve. | amplenote.com |
| Unlimited | not priced monthly | — | flat | Published as '$10.00/month + tax • billed annually'; no month-to-month rate is shown, so monthlyUsd is null. Everything in Pro plus Vault Notes (client-side encryption of sensitive content), publishing notes as web pages, access to the desktop MCP Server so an LLM can read and write to the account, and 8 colour themes. If the MCP server or published notes matter to you, this is the floor tier. | amplenote.com |
| Founder | not priced monthly | — | flat | Published as '$20.00/month + tax • billed annually'; monthlyUsd null for want of a published monthly rate. Everything in Unlimited plus a bundled install of the Ample Agent Pro plugin, which the page values at $96/year of savings, 10 colour themes, early access to new features, 10x votes on the feature roadmap, a dedicated Discord channel and a 1-on-1 onboarding call. | amplenote.com |

## Price changes

No change record has cleared two sources yet, so nothing is published on the wire.

**Key features:** Task scheduling with scored, recurring tasks tied to the notes that created them; Vault Notes encrypted client-side with a key the servers never receive; Peek viewer for drag-and-dropping content between several open notes; Desktop MCP server exposing the account to LLM clients.

**Plan limits:** The pricing page publishes annual-billed rates only (+ tax); no month-to-month price is shown for any paid tier; Free Personal plan caps uploads at 5 MB, is licensed non-commercial, and excludes customer support; Vault Notes, published notes and the MCP server all require Unlimited or above; Native desktop app and calendar sync start at Pro; Plan downgrades and billing-cycle switches require emailing support; The vendor's own help page still lists a stale, higher price lineup that no longer matches checkout.

Provenance: VERIFIED, no price changes. a direct read is blocked with HTTP 403, so https://www.amplenote.com/subscriptions/new was retrieved directly. The page's own markup confirms every figure AND its billing term verbatim — each price sits in a 'plan-billing-summary' block reading, for example, '$5.84<span>/month</span>' followed by '+ tax' and '• billed annually'. Prices confirmed: Pro $5.84, Unlimited $10.00, Founder $20.00, all annual-billed, plus the $96 Ample Agent Pro value claim. Plan names confirmed as Personal, Pro, Unlimited, Founder. Because all three paid prices are annual-billed rates with no month-to-month figure anywhere on the page, monthlyUsd stays null on all three — the draft was right. The draft's exclusion of the stale /help/plans_and_prices_billing lineup (Basic $6.99, Pro $11.99, Founder $29.99) is upheld: those plan names no longer match the live page.
