You asked, and we listened.
Starting today, we are introducing “Storage-Based Custom GPTs“. CustomGPT.ai plans are now based on words stored — not on “words indexed.”
This new model makes everything simpler, clearer, and more cost-effective for you.
Instead of trying to track indexing credits, your plan now operates like storage on your phone or computer — you can easily see how much content you’ve added, how much space you have left, and adjust anytime.
For example, the Standard plan now lets you store 60 million words — that’s roughly 400 Harry Potter books worth of business knowledge, securely managed and instantly searchable through your CustomGPT.
This shift makes CustomGPT.ai not just more affordable, but also far easier to understand, scale, and manage for every kind of user.
Introducing Storage-Based Custom GPTs (More Words, Cheaper Pricing!)
If you’ve used CustomGPT.ai before, you might have noticed that the old “Words Indexed” limit didn’t behave like typical storage. That changes today.
The new storage-based system is designed to be simple, transparent, and scalable. Your plan now reflects exactly how much data you have stored — nothing more, nothing less.
This isn’t just a pricing change — it’s a structural improvement that makes CustomGPT.ai more predictable, flexible, and aligned with how you actually manage content.
The new system is built to scale — capable of managing vast amounts of data while keeping performance fast and consistent. We now have customers who have built GPTs containing billions of words, all running smoothly and efficiently under this new system.
How Words Indexed Credits Worked (Old)
In the previous system, when data was uploaded to CustomGPT.ai, it counted toward your lifetime Words Indexed limit.
Even if you later deleted that data, the limit didn’t decrease — because indexing each document required processing resources regardless of how much was stored afterward.
This setup worked for some users but made it difficult for teams who wanted to update or refresh their GPTs regularly. It wasn’t a typical “storage” experience, and it limited flexibility for dynamic data use.
How Words Stored Works (New)
The new Words Stored model works the way storage should.
When you add data, your usage increases. When you remove it, it decreases. This words stored model is simple, predictable, and intuitive.
This makes it easier than ever to build dynamic GPTs that evolve over time. You can constantly refresh your content without hitting arbitrary limits or worrying about reindexing.
For example, one customer created a stock market GPT that automatically updates its data daily using RSS feeds and the auto-sync feature — adding new content and removing old data seamlessly within their plan.
This model gives you complete control over how your GPT grows, updates, and scales — without hidden limits or confusing metrics.
This change makes CustomGPT.ai perfect for anyone building business-grade GPTs that evolve over time.

FAQs
What does “storage-based Custom GPTs” mean?
Storage-based means your plan is now based on how many words are actively stored in your CustomGPT agents — not how many were ever indexed. When you delete data, your word count goes down, freeing up space instantly.
How is this different from the previous “Words Indexed” system?
The old system tracked total words ever uploaded, even if you later deleted data. The new storage-based model only measures active data — making it more intuitive, flexible, and scalable.
What happens when I add or remove data?
When you upload new files, your storage increases. When you delete data, it decreases automatically — just like storage on your phone or computer.
Does this affect performance or accuracy?
No. The new model changes how storage is counted, not how data is processed. Your CustomGPT agents continue to deliver the same accuracy, speed, and reliability.
Does this reduce my costs?
In most cases, yes. Because you’re now billed based on active data, not lifetime uploads, your usage becomes simpler and often more cost-effective.
How can I check my account limits?
You can view your current usage anytime on your My Profile or under Limits and Usage. Both pages show your total usage and a daily breakdown of what’s been used.
What happens if I reach a limit?
If you hit a limit, you can delete old content to free up space or contact our sales team to increase your limits. For monthly limits, your usage automatically resets at the start of your next billing cycle.
How many people can I add to my team?
Standard plan: Up to 3 team members (including you)
Premium plan: Up to 5 team members
If you need to add more members, you can upgrade or contact sales for a custom plan.
How many active agents can I have?
Standard plan: Up to 10 active agents
Premium plan: Up to 25 active agents
You can pause or delete agents anytime to stay within your limit.
How much content can I store?
Standard plan: Up to 60 million words
Premium plan: Up to 300 million words
This total is shared across all your agents. If you reach it, your existing agents will keep running normally — but you won’t be able to upload new data until you free up space.
How many documents can I upload or index per month?
Standard plan: Up to 10,000 documents
Premium plan: Up to 40,000 documents
Each file, web page, or video you upload counts as one document toward this limit.
Are there limits for individual agents?
Yes. Each agent has its own document capacity:
Standard plan: Up to 5,000 documents per agent
Premium plan: Up to 20,000 documents per agent
These limits work alongside your overall account limits.
How many words can I process per month?
Standard plan: Up to 120 million words
Premium plan: Up to 600 million words
If you reach this limit, you’ll need to wait for your next billing cycle to process new data — even if there’s still storage space available.
Can I increase my limits?
Absolutely. If you need more storage, queries, or users, contact our sales team for a custom plan that scales with your organization.
