What you get at zero cost

A real vault — not a trial, not a teaser. The free plan is a complete product for the owner who wants their collection documented.

Up to 5 Firearms

Track five guns with full records — more than enough for most owners getting started with their collection.

Complete Records

Make, model, caliber, serial number, purchase date, dealer, and condition — the full spec on every firearm.

Status Tracking

Mark each gun as active, transferred, or sold. When you sell or gift a firearm, update the record without deleting history.

Estimated Value

See the estimated market value for each firearm pulled from GunPrice — helpful for insurance and selling decisions.

Private & Secure

256-bit encryption, no ATF reporting, no data sharing with manufacturers or insurance companies. Your records, your control.

One Login, Five Sites

Your account works across GunPrice, GunClear, GunShare, GunTransfer, and Gun Vault. No separate registrations.

Who Free Is For

Built for the owner getting started

The free plan isn't a trial. It's a complete vault for people who own a few guns and want them properly documented.

01

The Casual Owner

You own a couple handguns for home defense, maybe a shotgun, maybe a .22 for plinking. You don't need a spreadsheet — you just want a simple record of what you have in case something happens.

2–3 firearms typical
02

The New Buyer

You just bought your first gun, or you're about to. Start your records from day one — purchase date, serial number, dealer info — before it becomes a pile of receipts in a drawer.

1–2 firearms typical
03

The Curious Collector

You're starting to build a collection and want to see what a proper vault looks like before you commit. Use free for your first five guns, decide later if it's worth upgrading.

1–3 firearms typical
Honest Comparison

What Free gives you — and what it doesn't

No bait-and-switch. Here's exactly where Free ends and where a paid plan starts making sense.

What Free Includes

  • Up to 3 firearms tracked
  • Full records — make, model, caliber, serial, purchase info
  • Active / transferred / sold status
  • Estimated value from GunPrice
  • One login across all 5 platforms
  • Export your data anytime (CSV)
  • 256-bit encryption, private & secure
  • No credit card, no trial, no expiration

What Requires a Paid Plan

  • More than 3 firearms
  • Photo uploads for each firearm
  • Written history & provenance notes
  • Bill of sale / receipt storage
  • Maintenance & range day logs
  • Heir designation & legacy planning
  • Free GunTransfer & GunClear credits
  • NFA item tracking (Gun Trust only)

When does upgrading make sense?

When you hit 3 guns and need more slots, when you want to upload photos, or when you start thinking about who inherits your collection. Gun Safe starts at $99/year — less than a range day.

Questions

Free plan FAQ

The questions people actually ask before signing up.

Is this really free forever, or is there a catch?
Really free, really forever. No trial period, no credit card required, no auto-upgrade. You can track up to 3 firearms indefinitely. We make money from paid plans — not from limiting or monetizing free users.
Are my serial numbers shared with the ATF or anyone else?
No. Gun Vault is not a federal registry. Your serial numbers, purchase records, and firearm data are not shared with the ATF, manufacturers, insurance companies, or law enforcement. Your data is yours. We'd only disclose anything under a valid court-issued subpoena, same as any other US company.
What happens if I hit 3 guns and don't want to upgrade?
You can still use your existing 5 slots normally — view, edit, and manage every firearm. You just can't add a 6th until you upgrade or remove one. No pressure, no countdown timer, no feature lockout on your existing records.
Can I export my data if I want to leave?
Yes. Every account — free or paid — can export their full vault as a CSV file at any time. If you delete your account, your data is wiped from our systems within 30 days.
Can I upload photos of my guns on the free plan?
Not on free. Photo uploads start with Gun Safe ($12/mo or $99/yr), which gives you unlimited photos per firearm plus the ability to attach receipts, bills of sale, and appraisal documents.
What happens if Gun Vault shuts down?
You'll get advance notice with time to export your data. We'd never hold your records hostage. The CSV export works on every plan, so you always have a portable copy of your vault.
Do I need to be a US resident to use Gun Vault?
Gun Vault is built for US-based firearm owners. Our transfer and legal guidance features assume US federal and state law. You can use the free plan from anywhere, but paid-plan features like GunTransfer credits only apply to US addresses.
Is my password secure?
We use bcrypt password hashing — industry standard, one-way, and salted. We never store plain-text passwords. Even our own team can't read your password. Connections use TLS 1.3, and your firearm data is encrypted at rest.
