Pacala Fair Use Thresholds: Summary & Charges

What is Pacala?
Pacala is a visual management platform that lets you organize and manage spatial data using interactive canvases and maps. Think of it as a combination of a digital whiteboard, a geographic map, and a spreadsheet — all working together. You can create elements (objects and locations), place them on a 2D blueprint or a real-world map, organize them with notes, tasks, and tags, and view everything in a data table.
Pacala works in two modes:
Demo Mode — Try everything without creating an account. Your data is saved in your browser's local storage.
Authenticated Mode — Sign in to save your data to the cloud via Supabase, with real-time syncing across devices.
