Orbit is USD 7.99/month for 2 vCPU, 4 GB (GB is the unit the page prints), 50 GB and a 250 Mbps port; Comet is USD 15.99 for 4 vCPU, 8 GB, 100 GB and 500 Mbps; Pulsar is USD 27.99 for 6 vCPU, 16 GB, 200 GB and 1 Gbps.

- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: unmetered traffic on every plan; the port speed is the only stated limit and it rises with the plan | metered: no | free allowance: unmetered at 100 Mbps on Flare | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: not stated
- interface: ssh, rest, cli
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): unmetered traffic on every plan, so the port is the wall and it climbs with the price: 100 Mbps on Flare, 250 Mbps on Orbit, 500 Mbps on Comet and 1 Gbps on Pulsar. A 100 Mbps port sustained is about 32 TB a month, which is the largest effective monthly allowance even though no byte counter exists. [1]
- limits note: unmetered traffic on every plan, so the port is the wall and it climbs with the price: 100 Mbps on Flare, 250 Mbps on Orbit, 500 Mbps on Comet and 1 Gbps on Pulsar. A 100 Mbps port sustained is about 32 TB a month, which is the largest effective monthly allowance even though no byte counter exists.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: the vendor advertises an order-configure endpoint per plan at my.privatebyte.com/order/configure/<plan>, SSH and console access, daily backups and snapshots; no API or CLI is documented on the page read
- composes with: USD 5.99 for 2 GB with unmetered traffic on a 100 Mbps port is the cheapest unmetered row, and 100 Mbps sustained is a larger monthly byte budget than any metered plan here states; that makes it the record to test first when the job is serving rather than storing, and the three locations give a European and a US point on one invoice
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The vendor table prints '4 GB' and '8 GB' under a column headed 'Memory' while the record's shape field is in GiB; the numbers are carried as printed and no conversion was made.
