| Free tier | unlimited zones for a domain you own, plus free hostnames on a shared registry of 23,246 domains unit unlimited; metered on object-count |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | the free tier's shared-registry hostname count is about 5, which is a third-party figure; a domain you own gets 20 subdomains |
| Retention | a shared-registry hostname is removed when the domain owner withdraws consent or the account lapses |
| Egress | no query cap published |
| Identity | email email signup |
| Limits | |
| Binding | write-gated |
| Interface | rest a v2 HTTP update interface and a web panel; a per-record token in the URL performs the update |
| Tooling | curl against sync.afraid.org/u/<token>/; DD-WRT and router integrations |
| Composes with | a free hostname that resolves without owning a domain, which is the only thing here that does |
| Reliability | a shared-registry name is on someone else's domain, so its survival is their decision |
| Notes | The name is not yours and the owner can withdraw consent. It is a dynamic-DNS tool with a social dependency, not a name. |
| Evidence rung | documented the landing page was read today and names the shared registry and the 23,246 domains; the hostname cap is third-party. |
