| Free tier | 'Webtor.io полностью бесплатен для базового использования. Смотреть и скачивать торренты можно без регистрации.' Paid tiers add speed and Vault capacity. unit unlimited; metered on none; No byte counter on the free tier; the paid tiers are denominated in Vault Points (1 point = 1 GB). |
|---|---|
| Price | USD 0 at free-tier speed; USD 2 for 50 GB Vault, USD 5 for 250 GB, USD 15 for 1 TB |
| Limits |
Live transcoding is on demand, so an unusual codec starts slower; the FAQ blames seeders, format, connection, server load and account type in that order. |
| Binding | per-ip-shaping At 1 TiB a month nothing is counted, but the free tier's unstated throttle is what a client meets first; $2/month is the cheapest published way past it, and $15 buys 1 TB of Vault for retention rather than for throughput. |
| Identity | anonymous Free use needs no account at all ('без регистрации'); a paid tier is bought through Patreon, so the identity is a Patreon account or a crypto payment from the donate page. |
| Egress | Download is served over HTTPS from the vendor's servers; the free tier is throttled and the FAQ says 'Премиум-пользователи получают более высокую скорость'. No byte quota is published. free allowance: unlimited downloads at free-tier speed |
| Per-object cap | no maximum file size published; each torrent is fetched by the vendor's servers and served as HTTP |
| Retention | Direct links and streaming sessions are temporary: 'прямые ссылки и стриминг-сессии временные. Вы всегда можете обновить или пересоздать их из интерфейса библиотеки.' Vault keeps a torrent available with zero seeders for as long as Vault Points are spent on it. |
| Interface | rest, cli Web player plus a documented Stremio addon, Torznab/Jackett/Prowlarr integration ('Добавьте Torznab-ссылку своего индексера в профиле'), and an embeddable player SDK. The whole stack is MIT-licensed ('Все компоненты Webtor.io распространяются под лицензией MIT'), so a client can run the player or talk to the same API surface. |
| Tooling | Browser; Stremio addon; Torznab feed for Jackett/Prowlarr; open-source components under MIT. The Torznab integration means a client's existing indexer stack can drive it. |
| Composes with | It removes a user's own BitTorrent exposure: the vendor's servers join the swarm and hand back HTTPS. That composes with a seedbox for private trackers and with a debrid for file hosts, and its Vault covers the zero-seeder case a debrid cache often misses. |
| Reliability | Crypto payment was added later from the donate page. |
| Notes | A service with a real free tier that needs no account and no card, which makes it the default first hop when no payment method is available. It is RU-language and Patreon-monetised; Candidate explanations for why a Russian-facing product bills through Patreon: (1) card acquiring for a RU entity is closed - consistent with the Storage Portal and Turbobit statements; (2) Patreon is simply the operator's existing channel. Not decided; the record states only the rail. The verdict is 'qualifies-with-caveat' for one reason: the free path is real and account-free, but it publishes no speed, /pricing is now a 404, and the one number a reader would grab (50 Mbps) is a card-gated Patreon trial. The ladder lists Webtor among the five steps that carry the bytes; it carries none, because it has no counter. If the 50 Mbps trial were card-free it would be 3.78 TB in 7 days at line rate (6.25 MB/s x 604,800 s), 3.9x the whole ladder; the Patreon checkout is what makes it group-3 rather than group-1. It claims no per-file cap on a free, account-free path. That claim is what makes it the candidate for a 20 GiB fetch with no payment, and it is unmeasured: a 20 GiB pull was not attempted, because an interactive magnet session cannot be driven by a page fetch. /pricing and /faq are 404, so every number here comes from the landing page or the operator's blog. A ~USD 12 floor is not a monthly price, so this is not comparable with TorBox's USD 3/month. It is the cheapest crypto purchase that buys anything at all in the sample only if the plan behind it is small; otherwise it is the largest first payment. |
| Evidence note | documented The free tier, the open-source claim, the Torznab/Stremio integrations and the tier prices are quoted from the vendor's own pages and blog read. A real download through the free tier would raise it to measured. |
