Payment & Pricing Overview

Overview

UnoLock offers four pricing tiers for different levels of storage, collaboration, recovery, and coercion-resistance needs. Across all tiers, Safe access is controlled by registered access keys such as passkeys or hardware keys, not by conventional username and password accounts. Payments can be made by credit card or Bitcoin, and the payment flow is designed to keep billing operations separate from Safe contents and normal Safe identity.

Key Features

  • Flexible Billing Models: Choose monthly billing or annual prepayment, with annual discounts on Sovereign and HighRisk.
  • Payment Separation by Design: Billing is handled separately from Safe contents and normal Safe access, supporting UnoLock’s OPSEC-first model.
  • Scalable Storage: Paid tiers support additional encrypted storage at $1 per GB per month.
  • Access Key Expansion: Paid tiers support multiple access keys so one Safe can be used across devices or by multiple people, each with their own key.
  • Clear Tier Progression: Each tier adds storage and higher-risk operational features without changing the underlying client-side encryption model.
  • Predictable Downgrade Rules: Downgrades require creating a new Safe, with unused balances returned as promo credit.

Why It Matters

The pricing model needs to do more than assign storage limits. It also needs to preserve UnoLock’s privacy model while giving users a clean path from a simple personal Safe to multi-key family access, Shared Space collaboration, and high-risk protection features. These tiers are structured to scale that way without changing the core access-key and client-side encryption model.

Billing Details

  • Monthly Subscription: Charged at the start of each billing cycle. Storage overages and extra access keys are applied to the next cycle.
  • Annual Prepayment: One-time annual purchase with the published yearly discount where applicable. Storage overages are still billed monthly.
  • Bitcoin Payments: The payment flow generates a one-time payment reference and amount. Once confirmed, credit is applied without turning Safe access into an identity-bound account workflow.
  • Prepaid Credit Model: Bitcoin users can pre-load credit and let the balance cover time, storage overages, and extra access keys.
  • Tier Transition Rules:
  • Upgrades: Apply immediately, with proration where supported by the billing flow.
  • Downgrades: Require creating a new Safe so the resulting state matches the lower tier cleanly.
  • Storage Expansion: Inheritance, Sovereign, and HighRisk support additional storage at $1/GB/month.
  • Privacy by Design: Billing data is processed separately from encrypted Safe contents. Safe access continues to rely on access keys, not on stored passwords.

Pricing Tiers Overview

UnoLock’s four-tier structure scales from simple seed storage to high-risk operational security:

  • Free ($0/month): 1MB Safe with one included access key, one extra Agent Key for the single included space, core encryption, and reply-only messaging.
  • Inheritance ($3/month or $36/year): 1GB base storage, LegacyLink, one included access key expandable up to 10, and one extra Agent Key for the single included space.
  • Sovereign ($8/month or $86.40/year): 5GB base storage, three included access keys, Spaces, Shared Spaces collaboration, DuressDecoy, and advanced messaging.
  • HighRisk ($14/month or $151.20/year): 5GB base storage, three included access keys, Shared Spaces collaboration, and the most aggressive coercion-response features.

Each paid tier builds on the previous with more storage, more access-key capacity, and more advanced collaboration or threat-response features.
