CaseMark makes the demo paywall stop yelling 500
When a trial user runs out of demo credit, the app now tells them so - and tells them what to do about it.
CaseMark's fork has been quietly hardening the moment when a free-trial user hits the ceiling. Previously, document previews and downloads would fail with a generic server error when the demo budget ran out. Now those same paths return a specific, recoverable signal all the way through to the browser, with copy that points the user to either bring their own AI key or ask the demo operator for a top-up.
The team also retuned what actually costs money in the demo: only AI model calls draw down the budget, while uploading documents, browsing matters, and using the vault are free. Uploads are capped at 100 MB with a clean error rather than a crash.
The move is small but telling - it's the difference between a demo that frustrates prospects and one that converts them.
