Basic vs Premium geocaching.com Users

There are some major differences between Basic and Premium members.

Basic Members

Basic geocaching.com members pay nothing to use the geocaching.com services but have certain limits on what they can do. The main limitations on Basic members are:

  • Limit of 3 full cache downloads per day
  • Limit of 10,000 lite cache downloads per day
  • Only traditional and event caches appear in live search results
  • Caches designated as Premium Only are not available
  • Cannot award favorite points
  • Pocket Queries are not available
  • Online lists are not available

Premium Members

  • Limit of 16,000 full cache downloads per day
  • Limit of 10,000 lite cache downloads per day
  • Can view all cache types including Premium only caches
  • Award favorite points
  • Pocket Queries created on geocaching.com can be downloaded in Cachly
  • Online lists

Lite vs Full Cache Download

Lite cache downloads only include basic information about a cache such as the title, terrain, difficulty, size, and coordinates. Full cache data includes hint, description, attributes, waypoints, and logs.

NOTE: These limitations are from the geocaching.com. Memberships are through geocaching.com and not Cachly itself.
