Search Feature Availability

Feature	Free	Pro	Unlimited
Basic Search	Included	Included	Included
Full-Text Search	Not included

Free-tier users see upgrade prompts for full-text search.
AI-powered semantic search is still in development and appears as Coming Soon for Pro and Unlimited plans.
Pro and Unlimited plans can access full-text search today.
Free-tier billing is conversion-first: available plans appear before plan-admin controls, and non-actionable payment-method management is hidden.
Free-tier billing suppresses historical canceled Stripe status badges; after cancellation, Free is the active access state.
The public /welcome campaign page is pricing-first and uses the shared billing-plan facade so Free, Pro, and Unlimited prices, highlights, and direct plan CTAs stay aligned with the app.
Paid-tier billing remains management-first: current plan, usage, billing status, and payment details stay visible for subscription management.
The usage card shows daily/monthly data transfer consumption, daily search usage, and live connected-service counts against the plan caps.
Warning alerts appear once daily/monthly data transfer or daily search usage reaches 80%.
The header can surface a compact quota warning badge when a user is approaching daily/monthly data transfer or daily search limits.
Subscription quota failures in transfer flows point users back to /user/billing with an upgrade call to action.
Connected-service, transfer/download quota, and search tier-limit failures point users back to /user/billing with an upgrade call to action.
Upload dialog batch-count and file-size tier caps surface as non-destructive plan warnings with a direct Upgrade Plan link instead of generic upload failure errors.
Active paid subscribers can upgrade immediately from the billing page and schedule downgrades for the next renewal without leaving the app.
Scheduled downgrades surface a billing alert that shows the target tier and effective date.
A detailed comparison table shows Free, Pro, and Unlimited side by side with the current tier highlighted.
Billing card copy surfaces 2 storage services (more coming), 5 storage services (more coming), and All storage services (more coming).
Billing copy warns that provider APIs may still restrict unlimited allowances, large files, and large batches.
Past-due subscriptions surface a destructive banner in the Drive experience with a direct billing CTA.
