| Free tier | no rented Windows machine; the free tier is 2 live sessions and 20 remote hours a month, where a remote hour is time spent using a computer the customer already owns through Cua's relay. Cua states 'You bring the computers; Cua doesn't rent them.' unit hours; metered on wall-clock |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
a remote hour is counted once for each hour with at least one live session through the relay, per calendar month UTC; it is relay time, not machine time |
| Binding | request-rate the 20-hour relay allowance is the only meter, and it measures time on hardware the customer owns rather than a rented host. |
| Identity | email an account is required to use the relay; no card and no phone were read |
| Egress | not applicable: no machine is provided; traffic crosses the customer's own computer and Cua's relay |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: no machine is provided |
| Retention | not applicable: no machine or disk is provided |
| Interface | unknown a relayed desktop session to a computer the customer already owns; no machine is rented |
| Tooling | Cua's client and relay; the customer supplies the computer |
| Composes with | not a compute source |
| Reliability | no reliability event observed; the service relays to the customer's own computer and provides no machine of its own |
| Notes | Corrected on 2026-10-26. The record had read 'using your computers from somewhere else' as a rented Windows Server host. The live page says the opposite: Cua relays to a computer the customer already owns and rents no machine. The 20 remote hours are relay hours, not a Windows host, so the record's qualifies-with-caveat verdict is withdrawn. |
| Evidence note | documented the live pricing page was read on 2026-10-26 and states that Cua does not rent machines. The page's own words refute that reading. |
