## ImageKit (free plan)

- `storage/imagekit` | fails-quota | evidence reported | binding none | category media
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://imagekit.io
- disagrees on verdict: `storage/imagekit` says fails-quota, `storage/imagekit-2` says fails-egress
- free tier: 3 GB DAM storage, fixed. | unit: GB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: 20 GB/month bandwidth on free, then $0.50/GB. Metered. | metered: yes | free allowance: 20 GB per month
- identity: email
- interface: rest
- limits note: 3 GB DAM storage is a fixed limit (their word), 20 GB/mo bandwidth. Originals are stored and served via the original/raw path; transformations are separate derivatives, so byte fidelity is good — volume is what fails.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: REST upload API, URL-based transformations, media-library endpoints, SDKs for JS/Python/PHP.
- composes with: Unlimited free accounts x 3 GB. Fixed limit, not a soft cap.
- reliability: Over-quota blocks uploads and eventually delivery; stored originals are not deleted on plan exhaustion.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: quota
  - dead_end.why: 3 GB DAM storage, fixed.
  - dead_end.first_recorded: 2026-10-21
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-21: '3 GB DAM storage' / 'Fixed limit'; '20 GB bandwidth' / 'Monthly limit'
  - [1] 2026-10-21: Lite $9/mo = 10 GB DAM storage, showing 3 GB is the free ceiling
