What goes into the cost of using Yandex IoT CoreWhat goes into the cost of using Yandex IoT Core

In Yandex IoT Core, you are charged for the number of messages. The message count is rounded up using the following formula:

Message Count = Command Size / 1 KB

Here is an example:

  • If the command size is 800 B, it is a single message.
  • If the command size is 2,800 B (2.73 KB), it is three messages.

Note

The broker is at the Preview stage. Messages sent through it are free of charge.

The first 100000 messages each month are free of charge.

After you spend the free amount of services, you will be charged at the applicable rate. The unused balance of free services is reset at the end of the month.
