CLI Tunnel Pricing

Metered, with prepaid credits (1 credit = $0.01): 1 credit per connected hour, never more than 10 credits per tunnel per day. The first hour is charged when the tunnel is created; you're only billed while connected. Buy credits in the app.otterkit.com console. No subscription required.

What	Cost
Per connected hour (tunnel or webhook)	1 credit ($0.01)
Daily cap per tunnel	10 credits ($0.10) — hours beyond are free
Auto-stop	Default 24h, configurable with --ttl up to 7d

A forgotten tunnel can never surprise you: it bills at most the daily cap, then auto-stops at its TTL. Disconnect any time — billing pauses while disconnected.
