| Free tier | No pool at all: one save slot per supported game title. A personal subscription covers one account and a family plan covers eight unit none; metered on object-count |

| Price | none stated |

| Limits | - per-object-cap (binding) one save file per supported title per account source
- write-gated an active Nintendo Switch Online membership is required, and the only client is the console source
|
|---|
| Binding | per-object-cap The advertised absence of a storage limit is bound to one save file per title, so the per-object cap is the whole quota. There is no pool to measure. |
|---|
| Identity | email a Nintendo Account and a paid subscription |
|---|
| Egress | Console-mediated only. There is no HTTP API, so there is no egress path at all |
|---|
| Per-object cap | One save data file per software title for each Nintendo Account. There is no aggregate cap and no way to store non-save bytes |
|---|
| Retention | Backed-up saves are not usable once the subscription ends, and are accessible again if the subscription is renewed within 180 days (180 days) |
|---|
| Interface | unknown |
|---|
| Tooling | none public. The switch's own backup menu is the only client |
|---|
| Composes with | Nothing to multiply: there is no capacity number to shard, and the practical ceiling is titles owned times per-title save size, which is tens of gigabytes at most |
|---|
| Reliability | Multiple games are excluded from backup entirely, and saves are not usable once the subscription lapses (accessible again on renewal within 180 days). The console is the only client, so there is no programmatic read or write path |
