# The free version and ReMatter Pro

> The free version keeps 10 codes. How ReMatter counts them, where to see how many are left, and what ReMatter Pro adds.

_Updated 2026-10-12 · Source: https://rematter.app/guides/free-version/_

The free version of ReMatter keeps 10 codes. Backup, restore, the print sheet and adding a
device to your smart home are free, with no limit.

ReMatter Pro is a one-time purchase that removes the limit. It is not a subscription.

The free limit of 10 codes came in [version 1.0.36](/releases/1.0.36/).

## ReMatter counts codes, not devices

Each code counts once. A merged device with a Matter code and a HomeKit code counts as two.
Grouping does not change the count, because each device in a group has its own code.

If you delete a code, you get its place back.

## See how many are left

A ring next to the **Devices** heading fills up as you save codes. The text next to it says
how many free codes are left. When 2 or 3 are left, the ring turns amber. When 1 or none is left, it turns red.

When 3 or fewer are left, the **Scan** button shows how many. When none are left, Scan
shows a lock, and the ring says **Upgrade now**.

Tap the ring to see what ReMatter Pro adds.

## When you reach the limit

When you use all 10 free codes, Scan opens ReMatter Pro and not the camera. To add a
code, unlock ReMatter Pro or delete a code that you do not need.

A restore from a backup file always works, also when the file holds more than 10 codes.

## What ReMatter Pro adds

- No limit on codes.
- Update a saved device from the drawer that opens when you scan a code that is already in
  your list. **Scan QR to complete** on a typed Matter device stays free. See
  [Typed codes and scanned codes](/guides/typed-and-scanned-codes/).
- If a code does not have a vendor ID or a product ID, set one yourself.

If you already bought ReMatter Pro, you keep it. To get it on a new phone, open **Settings**
(the gear) and tap **Restore purchase**. Sign in to the same Google account in Google Play,
or to the same Apple Account.
