Rainlit Glow
Rainlit is free, and paid for by one person. Glow is how you keep it free for everyone: it pays for what costs the most (files, and the video voice channels send), and gets you more of it. It's $5 a month, or $50 a year (two months free), and never more.

* Voice channels' video goes through Cloudflare, which charges for what it sends past its first 1,000 GB a month. Sharper streams are on while they fit in that, and in what your Glow pays for (about 100 GB of people watching your screen a month). Past either, your streams go back to everyone's quality until the month's over.
The badge that grows
A raindrop that gathers light the longer you have Glow: the "lit" in Rainlit. It's on your profile, next to your other badges. If you stop, it keeps the level it reached (dimmed), and picks up where it left off if you come back.

What stays free, always
- Messages, spaces, groups, calls and voice channels.
- Blocking, reporting and moderation tools.
- Encryption, privacy, and deleting your account.
- Homepages as they are, and everything else that's free today: the free tier never shrinks to make a perk.
- Running your own Rainlit server, with any limits you like.
Questions
Who takes the payment?
Stripe, which sells it for Rainlit (your statement says LINK.COM and Rainlit). It handles the sales tax, receipts and refunds, and keeps your card details: Rainlit never sees them. The price includes any tax, and you can pay in your own currency.
Can I stop?
Any time: here (Manage), or at link.com. Your perks last until the end of what you've paid for. Deleting your Rainlit account stops it too.
What happens to my files if I stop?
Nothing's deleted. If they add up to more than everyone's room, you can't send new ones until you've made room. Your homepage keeps its Glow extras, and a Glow theme you're using stays too, until you switch off it: switching back takes Glow again.
Where does the money go?
Running rainlit.app: its server, where files are kept, what voice channels send, and email. The bar above shows how much of this month is covered.
What about Rainlit servers other people run?
They don't have Glow: each sets its own limits for everyone on it.
