Compare a period total with a period total
The catalogue publishes full charges for one month, 12 months and 24 months. A longer-term monthly equivalent is the period total divided by its number of months; it is not a monthly instalment arrangement. Always carry the cycle and currency into the order summary.
Worked example: Umbra 1
Umbra 1's prepared catalogue totals are shown below. The annual monthly equivalent is a comparison figure derived from the annual total. A 12-month term is charged as one full cycle in the prepared order, rather than 12 instalments. These are catalogue values checked on 10 October 2026, not a live payment quote.
| Billing period | Full cycle total | Monthly equivalent | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $15.20 | $15.20 | Full one-month charge |
| 12 months | $77.52 | $6.46 | Annual total divided by 12 |
| 24 months | $136.80 | $5.70 | Two-year total divided by 24 |
Use the selected plan as the source of truth
Plan cards, the configurator, checkout and the invoice all read the same catalogue. Compare the amount for the actual selected plan. Avoid reconstructing a price from an old article or assuming that a headline ratio applies to every service.
Include the cancellation decision
A monthly term limits the initial commitment. The proposed refund window is seven days from provisioning for eligible first invoices, with product exclusions. After the window, monthly cancellation preserves use until the paid end date; proposed annual/biennial refunds use the unused portion and the relevant deduction.
Keep renewal and cycle changes explicit
A production billing agreement needs renewal dates, renewal amounts, notices and the handling of a cycle change or unused credit. The account application records orders; it is not a real recurring crypto collection service.
Inspect the record before you confirm
Check the plan, region, image, full term and USD total, then inspect the selected asset/network quote. The server obtains the USD rate and displays the exact cryptocurrency amount and expiry. The website cannot debit your wallet or collect recurring payments; the customer remains in control of a transfer.
Add-ons can use a different billing unit
Check whether an option is monthly, yearly, one-time or an unconfirmed unit charge. A one-time setup fee should not be mistaken for a monthly renewal, and a yearly licence may have its own charging schedule. Prepared request-only options require a confirmed scope and provider before fulfilment.

Questions, answered.
Why should I avoid multiplying the displayed monthly equivalent?
Rounding can change the reconstructed total. For Veil One, the 24-month catalogue charge is $68.23; its rounded $2.84 monthly equivalent multiplied by 24 gives $68.16. The full cycle total remains the authoritative amount.
Does an annual price mean I pay every month?
No. The monthly equivalent helps compare terms; the selected annual cycle uses the full 12-month total in the prepared order. A real contract would also specify renewal amount, date, cancellation and refund rules.
Will this website charge a wallet or renew a service?
The checkout can display an expiring cryptocurrency quote and configured fixed receiving address. It does not debit a wallet or collect recurring payments. No transaction monitor or production fulfilment is connected, and a payment state creates no service entitlement.
