To estimate your service costs, see the pricing in this section.

The prices for service products are also available in the price list.

Note

Currency of Service rates (prices) depends on the company you made a contract with:

  • Prices in US dollars are applicable to customers of Iron Hive doo Beograd (Serbia) or Direct Cursus Technology L.L.C. (Dubai).
  • Prices in Russian roubles are applicable to customers of Yandex.Cloud LLC.

All prices in RUB and KZT are inclusive of VAT; in USD, net of VAT.

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.

Cost calculation exampleCost calculation example

As per the pricing policy:

  • 100,000 messages are free of charge.
  • 900,000 messages come at $1.0656 per 1,000,000 messages.
  • 3,000,000 messages come at $0.9836 per 1,000,000 messages.

The cost is calculated as follows:

900,000 / 1,000,000 × $1.0656 + 3,000,000 / 1,000,000 × $0.9836

Total: $3.90984
