Each Blocky plan limits how many widgets and charts you can have, and how many Notion records one widget can load. You see your plan and your usage on the Subscription settings page. To open it, click Settings in the dashboard sidebar, and then click Subscription.
Plan limits
| Plan | Widgets | Charts | Notion records in one widget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 5 | 2 | 500 |
| Standard | 10 | 5 | 1,000 |
| Pro | Unlimited | Unlimited | 5,000 |
A chart is a widget too, so it counts toward both limits. On the Free plan, for example, you can have 2 charts and 3 other widgets. The limits count your published widgets. Editor drafts do not count.
When you reach the widget or chart limit
Blocky checks the widget and chart limits for a new widget twice:
- when you create its Editor draft
- when you publish the draft with Save
If a new widget would go over the widget limit or the chart limit, Blocky refuses it. It shows "You have reached your limit of widgets. Delete one or upgrade to a new plan.", or the same message with "charts". To make room, delete a widget or upgrade your plan.
The limits do not stop you from editing and publishing a widget that you already have.
When Notion data has more records than your plan allows
A Notion record is one entry that a widget loads from a Notion database, such as a chart row, a flashcard, or a quote. When Blocky reads Notion data for a widget, it reads at most the record limit of your plan and leaves out the rest.
Blocky refuses a Notion refresh that holds more records than your plan allows. It shows "This data has more entries than your plan allows. Refresh the data to load it within your plan, or upgrade your plan."
The Made With Blocky.so tag
If you have no active Standard or Pro subscription, your Embeds show a Made With Blocky.so tag in the bottom-right corner. The tag links to the Blocky website. A Standard or Pro subscription removes it.
If your account has an affiliate link, your public Embeds show the tag on every plan, and the tag links to your affiliate link.

The Subscription page shows:
- Your current plan and its price at the top.

On a paid plan, click Manage billing. Blocky opens the Polar customer portal. There you can update your payment method, your billing details, and your plan.
Cancel your plan
- On the Subscription page, under Manage subscription, click Cancel plan.
- Optionally, pick a Cancellation reason and write a Comment. Click Continue cancellation.
- Blocky shows a retention offer: 50% off one monthly cycle on a monthly plan, or 30% off the next yearly cycle on a yearly plan. To take it, click the button that keeps your plan, such as Keep Standard with 50% off. To go on, click Continue cancellation.
- Click Yes, cancel subscription.
Your plan stays active until the end of the period that you paid for. The Billing details section shows that date in Access ends. To keep your plan instead, click Keep current plan in the last step, or close the dialog.
If your subscription already has a discount, such as a discount code from checkout or an earlier retention offer, the retention offer does not replace it or add to it. When you take the offer, your existing discount stays unchanged.
When a subscription is revoked
When your subscription is revoked, your account returns to the Free limits, and Blocky deletes the widgets over those limits:
- Blocky deletes your oldest charts until 2 charts remain.
- Blocky then deletes your oldest other widgets until 5 widgets remain.
