CLI Tunnel Pricing

Metered, with prepaid credits (1 credit = $0.01): 1 credit per connected hour. Tunnels bill connected time only. No endpoint ever bills more than 300 credits ($3) per rolling 30 days - webhooks and tunnels alike, so an always-on URL costs at most $3/month. The first hour is charged at creation. Buy credits in the console.otterkit.com console. No subscription required.

What	Cost
Per connected hour (tunnel or webhook)	1 credit ($0.01)
Pulses (scheduled HTTP)	1 credit per 100 runs; a nightly cron is ~1¢/month
Monthly cap (every endpoint)	300 credits ($3) per 30 days; hours beyond are free
Auto-stop	Default 24h, configurable with --ttl, or "never" to run until stopped

An always-on URL can never surprise you: it bills at most $3 a month, tunnel or webhook. Tunnels also pause billing whenever they disconnect.
