R3 Institute Enhances Gusuku Customine Free Plan
R3 Institute, headquartered in Osaka, has made a noteworthy announcement regarding their no-code customization service, Gusuku Customine, which operates in conjunction with the Kintone business improvement platform provided by Cybozu. Beginning October 1, 2026, there will be significant changes to the Gusuku Customine free plan that aim to enhance the user experience and customization capabilities.
Changes to Free Plan Details
Under the current setup, while users have the benefit of unlimited access under the free plan, they were previously restricted by an execution count limit. With the new updates, this execution count restriction will be entirely removed. Users can now enjoy the full extent of the customization features without worrying about running into a cap during their evaluation period. Furthermore, the utilization period for the free plan will be established as 30 days from the registration date.
In terms of additional features, the Excel/PDF export functionality and Job Runner (for batch processing and webhook handling) limits will still apply as follows:
- - Excel/PDF Output: Limited to 100 times during the evaluation period.
- - Job Runner: Restricted to a cumulative execution time of 3 hours during the evaluation period.
Prior Conditions vs. New Conditions
| | Previous Limitations | New Plan Details |
|---|
| ----- | ------- | --------- |
| Utilization Period | Unlimited | 30 days from the registration date |
| Execution Limit | Present | Removed (unlimited during the period) |
| Excel/PDF Limit | 100 times during the period | No change (still 100 times allowed) |
| Job Runner Limit | 3 hours cumulative | No change (still 3 hours cumulative) |
Reason Behind the Changes
The previous execution count limit often led to users hitting the cap swiftly, before they could fully experience the service's capabilities. The decision to remove this limitation aims to encourage users to explore and utilize the customization features effectively without constraint during their evaluation period. Additionally, R3 Institute noticed that a considerable number of users typically complete their evaluations within a 30-day period, thus supporting the decision to standardize this timeframe.
Options Beyond the Free Plan
For those who may find the 30-day free plan insufficient for thorough testing, R3 Institute will also introduce a “Verification Plan,” offering unlimited access for two months. This allows users who wish to delve deeper into customization ample time to evaluate the service. Interested customers are encouraged to reach out for further details.
Implementation Date & Scope of Changes
These changes will take effect on October 1, 2026, and will apply to all new users registering for the free plan as well as existing users currently utilizing it, both of whom will receive the standardized 30-day access.
Important Notes for Current Users
Current users of the free plan should note that their access duration will commence from October 1, 2026. To continue utilizing their custom developments, users are advised to consider transitioning to a paid plan or the aforementioned Verification Plan prior to the expiration of the free period. More information can be obtained by contacting the dedicated customer support.
Post-Free Plan Considerations
After the 30-day free plan concludes, any customizations made within Gusuku Customine will no longer operate. However, both the Gusuku account and created customizations will remain intact. Users can still access their past customizations by upgrading to either the Verification or paid plan post expiration.
