The Free plan is not a watered-down teaser. It is a real, working product that lets you build a cannabis digital menu, connect a screen, and go live, no credit card required.

But there is a point where some dispensaries need more. Here is an honest look at where that line is.

What You Get for Free

The Free plan includes:

  • 1 store
  • 1 connected TV
  • 1 menu
  • 100MB media storage
  • Offline playback
  • Device monitoring

If you are just starting out, running a small shop with one screen, or want to try Trikome before committing, free is a perfectly good place to be. It is real dispensary menu board software with no time limit.

Where Free Starts to Feel Limiting

A single device covers one screen. That works fine at the counter, but if you want a display at the entrance, one in a waiting area, or a screen in the window — you need more.

One menu also means everything is in one place. You cannot run different content on different screens or set up a layout that works differently for different parts of your store.

And if you have more than one location, the Free plan covers just one store.

What Trikome Premium Unlocks

At $30 per store per month, or $300 per year (saving you $60), Premium gives you:

  • Unlimited devices — connect as many TVs as your store needs
  • Unlimited menus — run different content on different screens
  • 500MB media storage per store — room for product photos, videos, and promotional content
  • Team member invites with role-based permissions
  • Multiple store locations from one account
  • Custom strains — add products beyond the standard strain database
  • Priority support

Signs It Is Time to Upgrade Your Cannabis Digital Menu

You are probably ready for Premium if:

  • You want more than one screen in your store
  • You want different menus running on different displays
  • You are opening or already managing a second location
  • You have staff who need dashboard access
  • You are uploading a lot of media and bumping into the 100MB storage limit

Signs Free is Still the Right Fit

  • You have one screen, one menu, and that covers everything you need
  • You are still setting up and figuring out your workflow
  • You want to test Trikome properly before committing

The Honest Take

Trikome Premium is built for dispensaries that are growing or already running a fuller operation. If one screen and one menu is all you need right now, free works great.

If you keep running into limits, that is your sign. Take a look at the pricing page and see what fits.
