What stays free
Reading, searching, citing, the map, the keyless API and MCP server, the record downloads and the Markdown twins. The parts that cost money to produce (owner lookups, dossiers, bulk exports, listings) are the paid parts, later. Contribute or support the project meanwhile.
When this changes
