Free tier	1 dedicated gateway included on Free; serves only CIDs pinned to your own account unless a Gateway Access Control is added. 10 GB/month bandwidth, 10,000 requests/month on Free. unit objects; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Metered at 10 GB/month and 10,000 requests/month on Free. '10GB of Bandwidth per month through Dedicated Gateway / 10,000 Requests per month through Dedicated Gateway' (free-plan announcement). Unmetered request rate, but hard monthly byte cap. free_allowance: 10 GB per month
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Limits	request-rate 10,000 requests/month source Restricted-by-default gateway; Custom Domain required to serve HTML; 10 GB/mo bandwidth; 10k req/mo.
Binding	request-rate calls are bounded rather than bytes, which is fatal to a nightly job on a monthly counter
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	Any HTTP client against <name>.mypinata.cloud; Pinata SDK gateways.public.get(); custom domain available on paid plans only.
Composes with	1 GB storage per account is the ceiling, so a dedicated gateway can only ever front 1 GB of content per free account. Chaining accounts does not help because a dedicated gateway is restricted to its own account's pins by default — you would need a Gateway Access Control per gateway to serve cross-account CIDs, which is a paid/enterprise feature.
Reliability	The architectural point that kills this class: a dedicated gateway is account-scoped, so it cannot be used as a shared egress tier for other people's content, and a shared gateway (gateway.pinata.cloud) is unmetered but serves only public IPFS content — you still need somewhere to pin 500 GB, which Free does not provide.
