# Plan Limits & Quotas

> What each plan includes — how many Links, editors and numbered sequence patterns — and what each of those three allowances actually counts

Every plan includes an allowance across three things: how many Links you can hold, how many editors can sign in to manage them, and how many numbered sequence patterns you can claim. All three increase as you move up the tiers.

|                                | Starter | Professional | Scale             |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------------ | ----------------- |
| **Links**                      | 100     | 1,000        | 10,000            |
| **Editors**                    | 1       | 5            | 20                |
| **Numbered sequence patterns** | —       | 1            | 5                 |
| **Scanning**                   | Public  | Public       | Public or private |

## What counts as a Link

Every Link you hold, whether or not it is connected to anything yet.

That matters more than it sounds, because of how QRtub is normally used. A Link is a permanent address, and printing codes before you know what they will point to is a deliberate workflow — so a batch of 500 codes sitting in a box, connected to nothing, is 500 Links against your allowance. Spare codes count too. The allowance is a count of addresses you have brought into existence, not a count of the ones currently in use.

It is also a total, not a monthly rate. You can create your whole allowance on your first day — which is the point, since a print run is an afternoon's work rather than something you meter out over a year.

## What counts as an editor

People who sign in to manage the deployment: creating Links, updating destinations, editing Pages, connecting codes to Items.

**People who scan your codes are not editors and never need an account.** Public scanning is unlimited and free on every tier. You are paying for the people running the system, not the people using it — a council with five staff and forty thousand residents scanning bin codes needs five editors.

The Owner and Editor role labels inside a team are a different question — those are about what a member is allowed to do, not about what your plan includes. See [Team Roles](/team/roles).

## What counts as a numbered sequence pattern

A claimed range of sequential Links — `CRA0001TL` through `CRA0999TL`, for example.

This is the number people misread, because a pattern is a reserved *range* rather than a single code. One pattern can cover hundreds of Links, which is why the allowance is a much smaller figure than the other two. Numbered patterns start at Professional; Starter does not include them.

The Links minted inside a pattern still count against your Link allowance in the normal way. Claiming the range itself does not consume Links — only the codes you actually mint from it do. See [Numbered Links](/links/numbered-links).

## What is the same on every plan

Scanning is never limited or charged. Neither is changing where an existing Link points — updating a destination without reprinting is included on every tier, including Starter, because it is the thing QRtub exists to do.
