Free tier	Starter 50 GB ₹20/mo; Freelancer 100 GB ₹35/mo; 500 GB ₹100/mo; Studio Pro 1 TB ₹150/mo (or ₹1,650/yr); 25 GB free forever. Enterprise pooled storage on request. unit GB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	$1.58/TB/mo at 1 TB ($18.95/TB/yr) as advertised, $1.19/TB/mo on the ₹1,650/yr annual. At 5 TB and 20 TB: NO PUBLISHED PLAN — the ladder stops at 1 TB and «Enterprise pooled storage» is quote-only, so the 5 TB and 20 TB figures do not exist and the number cannot be used for a user's sizing.
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Claimed free. The business page is titled «Eliminate Egress Fees» and argues against providers «that charge hidden egress fees», and the pricing JSON-LD implies flat-rate. But no numbered egress allowance, no fair-use clause and no overage rate is published anywhere on the site — so the claim cannot be falsified from outside.
Identity	email email
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	s3, rest, webdav, rclone, cli rest
Tooling	None documented. No public API, no WebDAV, no S3 endpoint, no rclone backend, no CLI. The product page describes «Zero-Knowledge Personal Vault», AES-256-GCM client-side encryption, mobile sync and a web UI. This is the disqualifying gap.
Composes with	Per-account consumer plans; no documented route that uses several accounts and no API to automate one.
Reliability	Record as UNVERIFIED, not qualifying. Three independent signals of thinness: (1) the site 403s a plain `curl` with a bare HTML body and no content negotiation; (2) the actual /pricing page returns a 37-word synthetic stub to every extraction path tried (read broker, firecrawl, direct fetch) while the marketing articles are fully readable — i.e. the price exists only in prose, never in a page that renders a table; (3) no API, no status page, no company registration details. ₹150/TB/mo is ~1/17th of AWS and 1/6th of Utho's best tier, which is not a price a real 1 TB Indian host can hold.
Notes	Starter 50 GB ₹20/mo; Freelancer 100 GB ₹35/mo; 500 GB ₹100/mo; Studio Pro 1 TB ₹150/mo (or ₹1,650/yr); 25 GB free forever. Enterprise pooled storage on request.
