Is the free tier really unlimited?
What does Cloud add?
Cloud provides always-on sync and backup through our infrastructure. Your devices sync through the cloud when direct peer-to-peer is unavailable, and your data is backed up so you never lose it.
What happens to my data if I cancel Cloud?
Your local data stays on your devices and is always yours. Cloud-synced data has a 30-day read-only grace period after cancellation. You can export everything at any time.
Can I self-host the cloud parts?
Yes. Spacewave is open-source and you can run your own relay and storage infrastructure. The Cloud plan is for those who want managed infrastructure without running servers.
How does usage-based pricing work?
Your Cloud plan includes 100 GiB of cloud storage. Storage above it costs $0.02 per GiB-month, measured hourly, up to the monthly spending limit you choose. Reads and writes are not billed. When extra storage is off or at its limit, uploads pause until the period renews or you raise the limit.
