| Free tier | 2 active HTTP and HTTPS tunnels, no time limit unit requests; metered on request-count |
|---|
| Price | none stated |
|---|
| Binding | request-rate The free plan publishes no bandwidth figure at all: the pricing page lists 'Unlimited bandwidth' under the USD 8 Pro row only, and the free row's stated negatives are 'Time limits' and 'Interstitial warning page'. UDP and TCP forwarding are Pro features, so the ingress test fails before a byte is counted and the volume question never arises. |

| Composes with | a free persistent tunnel for two services with no published byte quota, so it composes with an origin and cannot be sized in advance. |
|---|
| Reliability | Free tunnels are HTTP and HTTPS only, time limited, and serve an interstitial warning page to visitors |
|---|
| Notes | No byte quota is published, and none is needed to decide: the free tier cannot carry UDP. The vendor's own pages disagree on whether free bandwidth is unlimited, which is why the number is not recorded as such: a January 2026 blog post says '2 HTTP tunnels with unlimited bandwidth', while the September 2026 free-port-forwarding page says raw TCP and UDP forwarding and unlimited bandwidth are Pro. Unmeasured. Records the vendor's internal contradiction instead of silently picking a side. |
