Free tier	no free tier; the Tokyo Start plan is USD 7.71 a month and is billed hourly unit none; metered on none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	hourly billing; the instance persists while the balance lasts
Egress	1 TB of bandwidth a month on the Start plan, 2 TB on Agency free_allowance: 1 TB
Identity	email (placeholder) unverified: the price page was read and the console was not. LightNode advertises PayPal and Alipay on its Chinese-language mirror, which implies no card wall, but that page was not read first party here
Limits	volume-quota 1 TB a month of bandwidth on Start source
Binding	volume-quota the price binds before the bandwidth: USD 7.71 is above the line on the smallest plan, and hourly billing at USD 0.04 an hour would be worse for 24/7 use
Interface	ssh, rest root SSH; the vendor's web console; a REST API where documented
Tooling	any SSH client
Composes with	recorded to close a lead: the cheapest Tokyo shape is 1 vCPU / 2 GB / 50 GB NVMe at USD 7.71, so LightNode has nothing under the line
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Hourly billing exists but the hourly rate for this shape was not read on this page, so no 10 h/day figure is recorded. Nothing here is under USD 5 in any region.
Evidence rung	documented price and shape from the vendor's Tokyo page today; identity and payment unverified
Checked	2026-10-25 (live); stale on 2026-11-24
