Riff Pricing
100% Free Forever
No credit card, no premium tiers, no usage restrictions.
I believe basic engineering and organizational utilities should be a standard utility rather than another monthly subscription service. Riff offers unlimited local snippets, unrestricted Convex Cloud synchronizations, complete GDPR access exports, and profile picture modifications entirely free of charge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: Riff is an open-source tool developed as a labor of love by Rohit. It is architected using ultra-modern, serverless edge structures (like Convex Cloud). Because Convex provides very generous serverless quotas and database footprints, my runtime operating costs are virtually zero. Instead of trying to squeeze a profit, I pass these zero-cost infrastructure savings directly to you.
A: No. I promise that the entirety of Riff's core features — snippet hosting, custom categories, database sync, GDPR downloads, and session logs — will remain 100% free forever. There is no hidden subscription, ad-network, or upgrade lock waiting for you down the line.
A: Standard developer use (thousands of text snippets) takes up only a few megabytes of database space, which easily fits within our platform infrastructure guidelines. Unless you are deliberately writing scripts to spam the system with millions of garbage inputs, your snippets will never be throttled.
