How many plots and projects can I run on one phone?

No plot limits, no plot fees

Buildsnapper's pricing is flat: one subscription, one device, everything on it. There is no per-plot charge, no per-project charge, and no tier that unlocks "more plots". A forty-plot site costs the same as a single self-build. This is deliberate — some competing products charge per plot lodged, which quietly turns a large site into a large bill.

Within the app:

• Projects: unlimited. Each needs a unique name (the app enforces this so reports can never be attributed to the wrong project).
• Plots per project: no fixed count. Add plots from the project's edit screen as the site grows.
• Photos per plot: no fixed count per section — take as many as the evidence needs.

The real-world constraints, honestly

Two practical ceilings exist, and both announce themselves before causing trouble:

1. Phone storage. Each photo's in-app working copy is deliberately compact (about a quarter of a megabyte to half a megabyte typically), so even a busy season's evidence uses modest space. The bigger consumer is the full-resolution gallery backups, which your phone manages like any other camera photos. You can check the app's own footprint under Settings → App Data in the app.
2. Per-project record size. Each project's online record (plot lists and photo details — not the images) has a generous ceiling. Only very large single projects approach it, and the app warns you explicitly and early — see the project storage limit article. On big sites, splitting phases into separate projects sidesteps it entirely.

Organising large sites — what works

• One project per site or phase, one plot per dwelling. Reports are generated per plot, which matches how assessors lodge them.
• Name plots the way your assessor references them (plot numbers from the site plan) — the plot name goes into the report filename and the email subject line, so consistency saves questions later.
• Send reports as plots complete rather than batching the whole site at the end. Sending is also what backs your evidence off the single device, so a steady send rhythm doubles as risk management.

What "one device" means alongside this

Unlimited plots applies per capturing device: all of a plot's photos should be taken on the same phone, because photos never sync between devices (by design — see the one-licence article). One busy phone running a whole site is normal usage; one plot split across two phones is the pattern to avoid.
