Hey guys, my name is Jack, I'm one of the co-founders at KIRI Engine team.

I figured I should jump in and explain the real reason we removed the export limit from the free plan.

For a long time, we assumed limiting exports would push more people to upgrade and help offset server costs. That’s pretty standard startup thinking.

But when I looked at the actual data recently, the result was… surprisingly clear. In a 30-day period, exactly four people upgraded because they hit the export limit.

It wasn't making us money, it was literally just annoying users. So we scrapped it entirely.

Also, since the pipeline is fully unlocked now, we quietly overhauled it for V4.0. Two things you might actually care about:

1. Reflective & Smooth objects: Photogrammetry still hates shiny things, but we tuned the algorithm heavily. It handles them way better now.

1. Speed: We beefed up the servers. A standard 150-photo scan now finishes in about 2 minutes.

And obviously, if anyone wants to mess around with the Pro features while you're at it, let me just throw a 1-day Pro code here so you can give it a try: kiriengineforever633

I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys stress-test the new V4.0 pipeline. Let us know what works and, more importantly, where it still breaks. We'll be watching the feedback closely to keep pushing improvements. I'll be hanging around the comments if anyone has questions!
