Updated pricing policy for Yandex DataLens
Starting December 1, Yandex DataLens introduces a revised pricing policy. Under the new unified service plan, all users will gain access to expanded capabilities, including Neuroanalyst, reports, JavaScript-based customizations in Editor, background chart data export, UI styling, and more. The new plan will be offered free of charge for individual use and for a fee for team work.
New pricing policy
Billing will be based on the number of desktops users will get within one Yandex DataLens instance. One desktop grants full access to all DataLens features to one user.
You can assign desktops to particular DataLens instance users; mechanisms for auto-purchasing, auto-assignment, and reassignment of desktops are soon to come. Users without a desktop will not be able to use DataLens.
Within one instance, DataLens will be priced as follows:
- One desktop: Free of charge.
- Two or more desktops: $8.249997 per desktop per month.
Desktop charges are not written off in one go but daily throughout the month according to the formula:
You may schedule a cut in the number of desktops at any time; however, the change will take effect only on the first day of the following month.
Technical support coverage is determined by the Yandex Cloud support plan you select.
Note
Under the current pricing policy, you pay only for active DataLens users. An active user is someone whose actions result in a query to a data source, e.g., opening or editing a dashboard, chart, or dataset. The new pricing policy, however, is going to charge for each desktop no matter whether its user is active or not.
