Free tier	No free plan and no yearly plan. The pricing page lists one price, '$8.00/ month', and the FAQ says 'Obscura is just $8/month.' Subscriptions renew monthly by card; time can also be added by top-up with a card, Bitcoin Lightning or Monero. A promotion site (nonordnovember.com) gives everyone 7 days free; up to 2 years of credit based on another VPN's plan is unlocked only with at least a 1-month purchase. unit none; metered on none; No 12-month price exists on the pages read, so the yearly cost is 12 monthly payments: the monthly price times 12. Subscriptions 'charge your credit card monthly'; a top-up is 'a one-time payment that adds time to your account'. The top-up page's per-period prices are behind the account and were not read.
Price	USD 8.00 per month; no yearly plan; a subscription price, not a per-TB price
Limits	per-ip-shaping the exit addresses are Mullvad's ('a fully-independent exit hop (currently Mullvad)'), shared by that provider's customers, so reputation and limits on an address apply to everyone behind… source request-rate 5 simultaneous connection slots per account; each WireGuard config holds 1 slot even when idle source The slot count is filed under request-rate because the vocabulary has no concurrent-connection kind.
Binding	none No byte quota, speed cap or request rate is published; the stated ceiling is 5 connection slots, which the limit vocabulary cannot name.
Identity	anonymous 'Log in with just a randomized account number. No names, no emails, no phone numbers necessary.' The signup page says 'All you need is an account number and payment'. Card subscriptions run through Stripe, which 'may need your email for subscriptions, but Obscura never stores it'; Bitcoin Lightning and Monero are accepted for top-ups only, not subscriptions.
Egress	No byte cap is stated on the pages read. The plan lists '5 simultaneous connections, unlimited devices' and 'Connections to 33+ countries'. Exit hops are run by Mullvad: 'a fully-independent exit hop (currently Mullvad)'. free allowance: none: no free plan
Retention	not applicable: a tunnel, not stored bytes
Interface	unknown A tunnel through native apps, plus WireGuard configs generated in the account. Protocols: a two-party relay that carries WireGuard over QUIC (the vendor's wording: 'WireGuard-over-QUIC'), and plain WireGuard configs. UDP: the QUIC tunnel is UDP-based by default, with a TCP/TLS tunnel option in the app's Experimental settings. Port forwarding: unverified: no page read states it. SOCKS5: unverified: no page read states a SOCKS5 endpoint. Obfuscation: the QUIC 'stealth protocol' blends in with HTTP/3 traffic; the WireGuard-config mode does not have it. BitTorrent: unverified: no page read states a rule.
Tooling	The vendor's native apps (macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux; source on GitHub), or any WireGuard client with a config generated in the account. Each config holds one of the account's 5 connection slots for as long as it exists.
Composes with	A tunnel exit in two hops: a vendor relay that sees the connecting address but cannot decrypt traffic, then a Mullvad exit; the upstream sees a Mullvad exit address.
Reliability	The first hop is the vendor's own relay and the exit is Mullvad's, so an outage at either ends the tunnel; the vendor's fallback when UDP is blocked is the TCP/TLS tunnel setting, which 'may reduce performance'.
Notes	Cheapest yearly price: no yearly plan is offered on the pages read; the only price is USD 8 a month. The product is a front end to Mullvad's exits (see the Mullvad record for that provider's own terms).
Evidence note	documented Documented: price, protocol, UDP/TCP fallback, sign-up gate and exit provider are quoted from the vendor's pages. Nothing was connected through the service. Port forwarding, SOCKS5 and the BitTorrent rule are unverified because no page read states them.
