The limits the app applies, gathered in one place, as checked on the app on 2 November 2026. Most users never meet them. In short K-Stra analyses take up to 6 bands, 12 administrative areas or 10 drawn shapes. Imports are up to 100 MB per file and 20 files or 500 MB per user a day. Reports reach 200 pages and 50 scheduled recipients, and session-only datasets are deleted after 24 hours.

Limits on the area keep each run within a size the engine computes in seconds. Limits on modules keep a single run readable; for more, run it again on another selection. Limits of a K-Stra analysis What Limit Bands around an address 6, from 0–120 minutes or 0.1–30 km; 8 for the Customer Loyalty catchment Administrative areas 12 Drawn shapes 10, with 5,000 vertices in all Territory of one analysis 1,000,000 address points Brands in one run 10 Categories in a category mix 20 Points in network coverage 500 Candidate sites in a comparison 5 Sales reps in a Sales analysis 100, with 10 locations per rep code Stores in a Customer Loyalty network analysis 60 Data ## What are the limits on importing and storing data? *[Image: The K-Stra My Data panel of a K-Stra sample account listing points, lines and areas datasets, with the lines “Today: 0 of 20 imports · 0 of 500 MB uploaded” and the storage used against the first 50 MB free.]* In the app My Data · today’s allowanceThe daily import allowance and the storage used, at the bottom of My Data. The daily allowance is per user and resets each day; My Data shows how much is left. Storage has no cap: beyond the free 50 MB it is paid in credits each month.

These limits protect the people who receive your work as much as the server: a report email stays small enough for any inbox, and a link shared with anyone can expire. Limits on reports, sharing and the AI assistant in K-Stra What Limit Pages in a report 200, with 120 elements per page Images in a report 10 MB each Recipients of a scheduled report 50, with attachments up to 10 MB Pages of an AI draft 6 Expiry of a link for anyone 7 days, 30 days or never People invited to one analysis 50 Invitation to an organisation valid 7 days Message to the AI assistant 4,000 characters, 10 questions a minute Quote prepared by the assistant valid 15 minutes, runs once Free answers without an account 2 Retention ## How long does K-Stra keep each kind of data? Your analyses, datasets and reports stay as long as your account does. Some records are kept for a fixed time, listed here; the privacy policy is the reference. How long K-Stra keeps each kind of data Data Kept for Work of a visitor without an account 24 hours Session-only datasets 24 hours at most Requests to the AI assistant 180 days Activity events and sign-ins 365 days Audit log of an organisation 24 months Data of a closed organisation deleted within 30 days Records of accepted terms 7 years FAQ ## What else do people ask about limits and quotas? ### What happens if I reach a limit? The app says so before anything runs or is charged: for example “Narrow the territory first” for a territory that is too large, or the daily import counter in My Data. ### Can the limits be raised? For an organisation with a specific need, write to support@k-stra.com. Most limits exist to keep each run fast for everyone. ### Why is there a daily import limit? To keep imports quick for every user on the same server. The counter at the bottom of My Data shows what is left today.
