Is the Scanara free tier truly free?

Yes. Scanara's free tier requires no credit card and has no time limit. You get 2 repositories, 5 scans, 3 AIRA/FRIA assessments, and 2 Annex IV dossiers as a one-time lifetime allowance. There is no trial expiry — you can stay on the free tier as long as you need.

What happens when I hit the free tier limit?

The 5 scans are a one-time allowance, not a monthly quota — they do not refresh. Once you've used all 5, scans pause until you upgrade. You will not be charged automatically. A banner in the dashboard lets you know you are approaching the limit.

Can I evaluate Scanara on the free tier?

Yes. The free tier is designed for evaluation. With 2 repositories and 5 scans, most teams can get a solid first read on Scanara's findings quality, rule coverage, and GitHub integration before deciding whether to connect more repositories or upgrade for ongoing scanning.

Quota Math: Is 5 Scans Enough to Evaluate?

The 5 scans are a one-time allowance, not a monthly refill. Most teams spend them across their first few commits to a primary repository — enough to see real findings before deciding whether to upgrade:

Scans do not renew

Active development teams with frequent commits may exhaust the quota in a single day. The scan counter never resets on its own — upgrade to keep scanning once it's used up.
