Plans, the basket and billing

The server and apps are free. Plans add conveniences on top; the Pricing page lists exactly what each plan includes, and that's what your server and apps unlock.
Free, Plus, Pro and Cloud — What's free for ever, when the relay on Plus and Pro helps, Cloud hosting, and changing or cancelling a plan.

The plans

  • Free — the complete self-hosted server: unlimited streams and people, watching away from home free whenever your server can be reached directly, and the full bandwidth engine. Free servers behind CGNAT also get 5 relay hours a month (one stream at a time).
  • Plus — remote access with no router setup, even behind CGNAT: 150 HD relay hours a month, up to 3 relayed streams at once, for the whole household.
  • Pro — 500 HD relay hours a month, up to 6 relayed streams at once, up to 5 servers, analytics, alerts and custom quality profiles.
  • Cloud — we run the server for you and store your encrypted library; activation takes up to 3 days.
  • Stream limits only ever apply to the relay. Watching at home or over a direct connection is never limited.

Add-ons and one-off services

Add-ons such as extra relay hours or extra Cloud storage and streaming are monthly and add to your plan; each works with the plans it's listed for. One-off services (setup assistance, managed migration from Plex, Jellyfin or Emby, the Silux Media Box) are paid once.

Using the basket

  1. 1Choose a plan on Pricing, or add a service from the Shop. It goes into the basket.
  2. 2Open the basket to check items and quantities, or remove something.
  3. 3Checkout: enter billing details (and a VAT number for a business), then your card.
  4. 4Check the order summary — prices and VAT are calculated by us and shown before you pay — and confirm.

Your plan and add-ons switch on as soon as payment succeeds. If the payment doesn't go through, nothing is charged and nothing changes.

Changing, renewing and cancelling

  • Change plan from Account → Plan & billing; the price difference is worked out to the day.
  • Plans renew automatically on the card on file. A failed payment is retried and shown on the billing page.
  • Cancel at any time: you keep the plan until the end of the period, then the account returns to Free.

Invoices and VAT

Every payment has an invoice (Account → Orders, or the billing page) with the details you set in Account → Settings. UK and EU VAT is applied by where you live; businesses with a valid VAT number are invoiced accordingly.

Questions

What happens to paid features when a plan ends?

The server returns to the Free plan. Everything Free includes keeps working, and your media is never touched.

What exactly is free?

See What's free, and what the paid plans add: the whole server, unlimited people and streams, and watching away from home whenever your server can be reached directly.

Can I try Plus or Pro first?

Yes, they start with a free trial. Cancel before it ends and you're not charged.
