	In February 2024, Storj announced the discontinuation of its Free Tier, effective April 1, 2024.<ref>{{Cite web \|date=01 FEB 2024 \|title=Discontinuation of the Storj Free Tier \|url=https://forum.storj.io/t/discontinuation-of-the-storj-free-tier/25332?utm_source=chatgpt.com \|url-status=live}}</ref> This change required all users to transition to paid Pro accounts to continue using the service. Users who did not upgrade by the deadline had their accounts frozen, restricting access to their data until a payment method was added. The decision was driven by concerns over the Free Tier's effectiveness in customer acquisition and instances of abuse. While some users expressed dissatisfaction with the abrupt transition and communication, Storj maintained that the change was necessary for the platform's sustainability.
