Data Plan provides comprehensive network monitoring that fits your specific needs. Stay in control of your data consumption with an intuitive interface that shows exactly what you need to know. FEATURES OVERVIEW - Supports Cellular and Wi-Fi Interfaces The app supports monitoring of cellular and Wi-Fi interfaces, including eSIMs. - Flexible Configuration Create tracking plans that fit your needs. — Rolling Window Track data usage within rolling number of days. For example, if you need to keep tracking 10 GB within the last 3 days. — Rollover Data Automatically move unused data to the next cycle. - Multiple Plans Create as many tracking plans as needed. - Widgets Stay on top of your data usage with clear & intuitive Home & Lock screen widgets. - Notifications Configure notifications for getting reminders about reaching daily or cycle limits. - Autonomous With the needed setup completed correctly, you do not need to open the app, and it will still track the data correctly. WHAT THE APP CAN'T DO While many features are supported, and the app provides the best tracking of network data usage possible, there are still limitations imposed by iOS. - Multiple SIM or eSIMs Data Plan cannot automatically track data usage for multiple SIMs / eSIMs at the same time. Currently, iOS does not allow that. You can still track data per SIM / eSIM, if you allow one SIM / eSIM connection at a time. This can be configured in the Device Settings. - Roaming Data Plan cannot automatically track when you go roaming. This might be possible in the future with location-based tracking. FREE TRIAL Because the app essentially offers one main feature, it requires being on a paid plan. When installing the app, everyone is entitled to a 7-day trial, and the app sends a notification 2 days before the trial expires. SUBSCRIPTION PRICING & TERMS Data Plan features are available as a $3.99 monthly or $12.99 and $19.99 auto-renewable yearly subscriptions or equal to the same price tier as Apple Store Matrix determines as the equivalent the price in USD.

Limit internet speed and track daily data usage while Pacebit is connected. Pacebit measures traffic that passes through its on-device connection control. See live transfer speeds, set a daily allowance, and choose the pace that suits your day. Switch between Normal and Save data, or set separate download and upload caps. Changes apply to the running connection without a new setup. EVERYDAY CONTROL • See live download and upload speeds, plus data used in the current session. • Set a personal daily allowance for traffic measured through Pacebit. • Optionally slow the connection after the allowance is reached, while keeping it online. Pause that slowdown for the rest of the day when needed. • Review seven days of measured totals, with missing periods left unestimated. • Choose reminders near your allowance or an alert for heavy use in a 15-minute period. • Start and stop from a Home Screen widget after the first setup; Control Center controls are available on iOS 18 or later. • Run a website check and share a report without browsing history or IP addresses. HOW IT WORKS Pacebit uses iOS VPN technology to forward eligible traffic locally through this iPhone. iOS asks to add a VPN configuration when you first start connection control. Pacebit does not change your public location or decrypt HTTPS content. An optional mobile fallback can use cellular data for IPv6 if Wi-Fi lacks it. Traffic that bypasses Pacebit is not measured or capped. Totals include network overhead and are not your carrier's billed usage or remaining balance. A speed cap can change how an app streams, but cannot guarantee a lower bill or less total data use. Pacebit does not show per-app or per-site usage. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Settings and aggregate usage records stay on this iPhone. Pacebit does not keep a browsing log or send usage records to a company server. Website lookups normally use your current network's DNS servers; if none are available, the tunnel uses Cloudflare DNS.
