Pricing FAQ
Is the free plan really free forever?
Yes. The self-hosted server is a complete product with no time limit, no card and no stream limits. We earn money from optional convenience — managed connectivity, cloud hosting and services — not by holding back features.
What does Plus add if remote streaming is already free?
With Free you connect remotely the do-it-yourself way: port forwarding, a VPN, or your own relay. Plus does it for you — automatic secure connections that work behind any router or mobile network (including CGNAT), with an encrypted relay as a fallback.
Can I switch between monthly and annual?
Yes, any time from your account. Annual plans cost 10× the monthly price — two months free. Upgrades take effect straight away with a pro-rata charge; downgrades apply at your next renewal.
How do refunds and cancellation work?
Cancel any time; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. UK and EU consumers have a 14-day right to cancel new subscriptions — see our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Do prices include VAT?
UK and EU prices include VAT at your country's rate. Businesses with a valid VAT number are invoiced under the reverse charge. Every payment gets a proper VAT invoice in your account.
How do you take payment?
Cards are processed securely by Stripe — we never see or store your card number. All invoices are issued by Silux Control UK Ltd T/A Silux Media.
