What the free trial covers, what happens when it ends, and how many browsers each plan allows.
Free covers 10 distinct repositories within 14 days of registering — whichever runs out first, once. It does not reset month to month. Each check is the full 22; checking the same repository again never counts twice. The count lives on the server, because a counter in your browser would be worthless as a limit.
Past the limit, RepoGates does not go quiet and does not pretend:
The free tier allows 1 device; paid plans allow 3. If a subscription lapses you drop back to the free tier — the gate keeps working and known malware stays blocked; new repositories are simply no longer assessed. See pricing for what each plan adds.
Managed on your account page. A device is a random identifier minted per install — not a fingerprint: no hardware identifiers, nothing derived from the machine. Signing in on the website registers that browser as a device too (labelled, for example, "Chrome on Mac (web)").
Free allows 1 device, paid plans 3. Over the limit, new assessments answer NOT CHECKED until you Remove a device (which signs it out; it can sign in again later) or upgrade. Removing a device frees its slot immediately.
