# Free plan

Learn what Felt's Free plan includes and when you need a paid plan. See what happens to your maps and data after a trial ends.

The Free plan has no time limit. You can create and annotate maps, collaborate in real time, add [Global Library](/upload-anything/global-library.md) layers, use Search, Table, Measure, and Compare, and share maps for viewing and comments.

You need a paid plan to upload files, style data, or run spatial analysis. Embeds, image and PDF exports, data exports, field data capture, Felt AI, and MCP also need a paid plan. For a full comparison and the Free plan's limit on map views, see [Compare plans](https://felt.com/pricing#compare) on the Felt pricing page and [Plan usage](/plans-and-billing/plan-usage.md).

## Upload your own data

The Free plan doesn't include data uploads. Felt asks you to upgrade when you upload a CSV, Excel, Shapefile, or other data file, or add data from a URL, Google Sheet, or ArcGIS service. You can still draw annotations and add Global Library layers. See [Upload files](/upload-anything/files.md) and [Draw on the map](/annotations/draw-on-the-map.md).

To upgrade, an admin chooses a plan on the **Billing** tab. See [Choose or change a plan](/plans-and-billing/billing.md#choose-or-change-a-plan).

## When a trial or paid plan ends

When a trial or canceled plan ends, the workspace moves to the Free plan. Maps and annotations stay, and you can keep opening, annotating, and sharing them. For what happens to uploaded data and embeds, see [When a plan ends](/plans-and-billing/billing.md#when-a-plan-ends).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.felt.com/plans-and-billing/free-plan.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
