Account and plans
How the Ant0 account, plans, seats and computers work, and exactly what happens when a plan lapses or the connection drops.
Updated Sep 7, 2026
Accounts ship with Ant0 0.2.0. The current release (0.1.4) runs without an account and has no plan limits; this page describes what arrives with 0.2.0 so there are no surprises.
The account
An Ant0 account is an email address and a password, with optional two-factor authentication (any authenticator app; eight one-time recovery codes are shown once). A new install opens on Sign in or Create account; nothing but Settings is reachable before that. Creating an account sends a 6-digit code to the address to confirm it and asks for a Cloudflare check.
What the sign-in sends to api.ant0.link: the email, the password, and an identifier of this
computer. Nothing about your profiles, cookies or proxies is sent in this milestone.
Plans
Plans are priced by the number of profiles you keep (live plus trashed):
| Plan | Profiles | Per month | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 5 | $0 | — |
| 10 profiles | 10 | $9 | $90 |
| 50 profiles | 50 | $24 | $240 |
| 200 profiles | 200 | $59 | $590 |
| 1,000 profiles | 1,000 | $149 | $1,490 |
Annual billing is twelve months for the price of ten. Upgrades apply immediately and are prorated; downgrades apply at the next renewal. Payment is in crypto at launch (USDT, USDC, Bitcoin including Lightning, Ether); card payments follow. See the refund policy.
Seats and computers
Every plan includes one seat; extra seats are $5 per month each. A seat may be signed in on two computers. A computer counts while it has been seen in the last 7 days. Signing in on a third computer shows the list of signed-in computers and lets you remove one; Settings → Account shows the same list any time.
Signing a different account in on a computer signs the previous one out there.
How the licence works day to day
The background service asks api.ant0.link for a short licence once an hour and on every start.
The sidebar shows the state in one word:
| State | What it means | What works |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Licence current. | Everything. |
| Offline · reconnect within N h | The server could not be reached. You have a 3-day grace period. | Existing profiles start; nothing new is created. |
| Locked | No valid licence (grace period over, or signed out). | Nothing starts until the app reconnects or you sign in again. Exporting cookies still works. |
| Suspended | The account was suspended (see the acceptable use policy). | Nothing starts; contact support. |
Settings → Account repeats the state with Check now and the last error.
At the limit
When you have as many profiles as the plan allows, Create profile is disabled and its tooltip says why (“Your plan allows 10 profiles”). Profiles in the Trash count until the Trash is emptied. Delete some permanently or upgrade.
When a plan lapses
If a paid plan is not renewed, the account returns to Free:
- Every profile stays in the list. Profiles above the Free limit are shown greyed with a lock glyph: they can be selected, exported and deleted but not started.
- A strip above the table offers Choose which profiles stay active, a checklist capped at the limit. Until you choose, Ant0 keeps the pinned and most recently used ones active so the account is never fully locked.
- Renewing reactivates everything at once. Nothing is deleted from your computer.
- Data kept on Ant0’s servers for the account (profile registrations and issued identities) is deleted 6 months after the lapse, with emails 30, 7 and 1 day before. Your local profiles are unaffected; only server-side records are removed.
