| Free tier | Stores contributor classifications, not contributor uploads — and the upload side is capped at 10,000 subjects per user. Zooniverse Help, Lab Policies, verbatim: 'there is a limit of 10,000 subject uploads per user. Please contact us if you'd like to upload more.' unit mixed; metered on stored-bytes |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
10,000 subjects/user; every project passes a two-stage review and a one-week beta before launch; media must be licensed and rights-clear |
| Identity | email email for a volunteer account ('Only your name and email are captured'), but publishing a project is write-gated — internal review + beta test + launch scheduling, typically weeks. |
| Egress | free read, but only per-subject image URLs — no bulk export endpoint without project-owner credentials |
| Per-object cap | not stated |
| Retention | not stated |
| Interface | cli Panoptes API (api.zooniverse.org); project builder; subject sets |
| Tooling | panoptes-client (Ruby/JS); subject uploader UI; no bulk CLI |
| Composes with | None. Each project's subjects live in a project-scoped S3 bucket; the data exports are CSV manifests, not a filesystem. |
| Reliability | Dead as a storage target for a user. It is a volunteer-compute platform: the storage is incidental to the classification task and cannot be addressed as a bucket. |
