Free tier	Free Basic plan (since 2025-05-29): 5 published documents max, each capped at 50 MB and 10 pages. unit MB; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Reader-facing views are free and CDN-served, but documents beyond the 5 allowance stay hosted yet become "inaccessible to readers" — so serving capacity is not proportional to stored bytes.
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	Issuu API v2 exists (OAuth, upload/publish endpoints) with an official SDK github.com/issuu/issuu-api-sdk; API v1 is deprecated in favour of v2. API access does not lift the free-plan document caps.
Composes with	5 documents x 50 MB = 250 MB per account at best; unlimited accounts gives 250 MB units. Hopeless next to 10 TiB.
Reliability	Documents over the allowance are silently made unreadable (still stored, retrievable only by the logged-in publisher), so public serving breaks without any error.
Notes	Free Basic plan (since 2025-05-29): 5 published documents max, each capped at 50 MB and 10 pages.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
