| Additional costs | Hits above the allowance are billed as overages rather than blocked; the current page exposes $2.60 per extra 5,000 hits on the 50,000-hit plan, while other bracket overage rates are not published in the static table. Crash reports, events, and other tracking requests consume the same hit quota. | Paid pricing rises automatically with traffic: monthly plans use the current month then a 3-month average; annual plans can auto-increase after a 1-week warning. Each extra user costs $20/month. Bitcoin payment is annual-only and adds 10%; bank-transfer invoices of at least $500 add 10%. |
