| Free tier | Free with no account: a public HTTPS URL per tunnel, a 3-hour session window and 1 GiB of traffic per session on the anonymous tier. A free account removes the session window and allows 3 GiB per UTC day; paid plans have a full-speed allowance that refills continuously, and sustained use beyond it continues at a reduced rate. unit GiB; metered on downloaded-bytes |

| Price | none stated |
| Limits | |
| Binding | volume-quota the session byte cap fails first: 1 GiB is one large file, and the 3-hour window ends the tunnel even when the bytes are unspent. |
| Identity | anonymous no account: the homepage says 'Free ยท no account needed'; a free account is optional and raises the daily cap to 3 GiB |
| Egress | 1 GiB per session on the anonymous tier and 3 GiB per UTC day on the free account; past the cap visitors get an HTTP 429 page. Paid plans have a continuously refilling full-speed allowance, 750 GB on Basic and 1.5 TB on Pro, and continue at a reduced rate beyond it.; ingress: http free allowance: 1 GiB per session (anonymous); 3 GiB per UTC day (free account) |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: a tunnel, not an object |
| Retention | not applicable: a live tunnel; an anonymous session ends after 3 hours |
| Interface | cli cruma proxy http <host:port> prints a public https://<id>.tun.cruma.io URL; the desktop app and the local reverse proxy use the same agent |
| Tooling | the cruma CLI from npm (@cruma-io/cli) or the desktop app; the agent is also a local web server and reverse proxy |
| Composes with | one anonymous tunnel publishes a webhook receiver or a small HTTP service; it carries TCP only, and the 1 GiB session cap makes it a test lane rather than a service lane |
| Reliability | an anonymous session ends after 3 hours and 1 GiB; a capability-free sandbox measured a 329 ms median latency and 117-126 kB/s on a 4 MiB transfer on 2026-11-05 |
| Notes | The fastest hosted relay by its own harness's account in a 2026-11-05 benchmark of authless relays: 329 ms median latency (probe sha256:e3b9e671b9637952dcd876c4cad821a9d4e22a5d44064934190f68c60fd1a133). The anonymous tier is a development allowance of 3 hours and 1 GiB per session, not a service tier. |
| Evidence note | documented the anonymous tier's limits are read from the vendor pricing page; the latency and throughput are a sandbox measurement and are recorded as such |
