| Free tier | Free with no account: a public HTTPS URL on *.liveapps.dev, a chosen subdomain, and one outbound WebSocket from the CLI to the relay. The page publishes no monthly quota; a sandbox measured the URL expiring after about an hour and a 30-second relay timeout that kills a multi-megabyte transfer. unit hours; metered on wall-clock |
|---|
| Price | none stated |
|---|
| Limits | - retention-clamped (binding) the public URL expires after about an hour
- request-rate a 30-second relay timeout returns a 504 for a transfer that has not finished
|
|---|
| Binding | retention-clamped the one-hour URL fails first for anything but a demo, and the 30-second timeout fails first inside that hour for a large transfer. |
|---|
| Identity | anonymous no account: the page's comparison table lists 'Account required | no', and the harness created a tunnel through the public API with no credentials |
|---|
| Egress | no byte quota is published; the relay's 30-second upstream timeout ends a transfer that has not finished, so a 4 MiB object returns a 504 page |
|---|
| Per-object cap | not applicable: a tunnel; a transfer the relay timeout interrupts does not complete |
|---|
| Retention | not applicable: a live tunnel; the URL expires after about an hour |
|---|
| Interface | cli npx liveapps tunnel --port 3000 --name worldofz prints a https://<name>.liveapps.dev URL; the CLI keeps one outbound WebSocket to the relay |
|---|
| Tooling | the liveapps npm CLI on node; no agent or daemon |
|---|
| Composes with | a named subdomain makes it a usable webhook and demo lane; the one-hour URL and the 30-second timeout rule out file transfer and long-lived services |
|---|
| Reliability | the URL expires after about an hour and the relay returns a 504 after about 30 s on a transfer that has not finished; a sandbox measured a 223 ms median latency, the lowest of the authless set |
|---|
| Notes | The lowest median latency of the authless relays measured on 2026-11-05, at 223 ms. The 30-second relay timeout makes it a webhook and demo lane rather than a file-transfer lane, and the URL lasts about an hour. |
|---|
| Evidence note | reported the free and no-account claims are read from the vendor page; the one-hour expiry and the 30-second timeout are a sandbox measurement, so the record is reported rather than documented |
