Everything, priced in plain sight
One free tier that is genuinely usable, two paid plans, and top-up credits if a subscription is overkill. Credits are based on the number of days your files are kept.
Short retention isn't a limitation – it's how Shako stays fast, fair, and light on infrastructure.
