Free tier	No storage quota at all in self-hosted Mattermost, free or paid. Only the per-file ceiling is configurable: default 100 MB (`MaxFileSize = 104857600` bytes), settable to anything. unit MB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	per-file ceiling is configurable: default 100 MB (100000000 bytes)
Retention	not stated
Egress	Your server. Free of platform metering; you pay the host.
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Limits	per-object-cap per-file ceiling is configurable: default 100 MB source 100 MB per attachment default (configurable), 10 attachments per post, 16,383-char messages. Entry caps message history at 10,000 channel messages across all channels and 1,000 Board cards.
Binding	per-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	Mattermost REST API v4 `POST /api/v4/files` (multipart, up to 10 files per post) returning file IDs. Team Edition is MIT-licensed; Entry is the free mode of Enterprise Edition.
Composes with	N self-hosted deployments; 10,000 teams per deployment; users per team 'no enforced limit'. Storage is whatever disk you mount — including an S3/MinIO backend via FileSettings.
Reliability	Zero platform risk — nothing can delete your files. The failure mode is operational: attachments live on the app server's local disk unless you configure S3, and the docs warn that raising MaxFileSize risks server crashes on large uploads.
Notes	No storage quota at all in self-hosted Mattermost, free or paid. Only the per-file ceiling is configurable: default 100 MB (`MaxFileSize = 104857600` bytes), settable to anything.
