Trial and paid account limitations
Data download
Sketch Engine contains many valuable corpora. To protect their content, there are limitations to how much data can be viewed and downloaded. This limit can be removed. See the conditions below.
Corpus building (user corpora)
Each user is entitled to a storage space of 1,000,000 words for their own user corpora. More space can be purchased. Trial users can increase their storage space only if they upgrade to a paid account (subscription) first and then purchase extra space.
Corpus download
User corpora (the ones built by the user) can be downloaded. The preloaded corpora can be licensed for academic or commercial purposes at a fee. Contact us to enquire about the availability of a concrete corpus and the pricing options.
Result download
There are limits to the download of data generated by the tools in Sketch Engine. The limits apply to preloaded corpora only. No limits are applied to downloading data from user’s own corpora. Some of the limits can be removed for a fee.
