Free tier	No published storage quota for published applications. This is a deduplicating OSTree/OCI repo: apps are stored as content-addressed ostree commits, so identical files across apps are stored once. Review is human: submissions arrive as a pull request to github.com/flathub/flathub and 'will be reviewed' - there is no self-service arbitrary-blob publish. unit mixed; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	per-object-cap: none published; the practical constraint is the build (GitHub-hosted runners with limited CPU/memory/time). retention: indefinite for published apps (OSTree history is retained; `flatpak repair`/`prune` is user-side)
Egress	Free, CDN-backed static repo at dl.flathub.org. No billing.
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Limits	write-gated applications source write-gated Review is human: submissions arrive as a pull request to github source per-object-cap: none published; the practical constraint is the build (GitHub-hosted runners with limited CPU/memory/time). retention: indefinite for published apps (OSTree history is retained; `flatpak repair`/`prune` is user-side). request-rate: dl.flathub.org supports ranges (verified 206). Builds that exceed CI limits 'fail to build'. Human review gates publication.
Binding	write-gated the write is a queue with a person or a rule in it, so the upload rate is set by somebody else
Interface	rest, oci, rclone rest
Tooling	`flatpak` (client), `flatpak-builder` + `org.flatpak.Builder`, `ostree` tooling, and the repo is readable as a plain static OSTree (summary / summary.idx / objects). No rclone backend and no OCI registry (registry.flathub.org does not resolve publicly - DNS NXDOMAIN from this vantage).
Composes with	one repo, unlimited apps x unlimited architectures (x86_64, aarch64) x unlimited builds. Per-app dedup means 20 TiB of distinct content is not achievable here; dedup only helps legitimately-overlapping app payloads. Multiplication is by flatpak app, not by account, and every app is human-reviewed.
Reliability	Read path is excellent and range-capable. Write path is not programmatic: a pull request + human review + a CI build. Content must be a valid Flatpak app manifest that builds from source, so arbitrary blobs cannot be published without wrapping them in an app (and reviewers will see them). dl.flathub.org works; registry.flathub.org does not resolve.
Notes	No published storage quota for published applications. This is a deduplicating OSTree/OCI repo: apps are stored as content-addressed ostree commits, so identical files across apps are stored once. Review is human: submissions arrive as a pull request to github.com/flathub/flathub and 'will be reviewed' - there is no self-service arbitrary-blob publish.
