What goes into the cost of using Smart Web Security
The Smart Web Security cost depends on the number of legitimate requests.
Prices for the Russia region
Warning
Prices for Yandex Cloud resources vary from region to region. For more information about the available regions, see Regions.
The currency that can be used to pay for resources depends on which legal entity the user has entered into agreement with. For more information about account registration, see Registering an account in Yandex Cloud.
Billing is based on the number of requests across all clouds linked to a single billing account.
You pay for the actual number of legitimate requests. For each request, you are charged for:
-
Processing with security profile rules, both basic and Smart Protection ones.
-
Processing with WAF rules. If a request is processed with security profile rules and then with WAF rules, you are charged for both.
-
Processing with rules in the dry run mode. Even though a rule blocks a request, those are not blocked in the dry run mode, which means they reach their destination. If you only enabled dry run for one rule type, e.g., for security profile rules, while the request was blocked with WAF or ARL without dry run, you are not charged for such a request.
You are not charged for processing requests with ARL profile rules. You are not charged for blocked requests, regardless of when and which rule blocked them.

Cost calculation example for Smart Web Security
Let’s calculate the cost of 315.04 million legitimate requests per month processed by security profile rules:
0.01 × $0 + 0.99 × $200.000000 + 9 × $28.000000 + 90 × $1.600000 + 215.04 × $1.120000 = $834.844800, excluding VAT.
Where:
- 0.01 × $0: Non-billable threshold of 0.01 million requests.
- 0.99 × $200.000000: Cost of the subsequent 0.99 million requests.
- 9 × $28.000000: Cost of the subsequent 9 million requests.
- 90 × $1.600000: Cost of the subsequent 90 million requests.
- 215.04 × $1.120000: Cost of the remaining 215.04 million requests.
You can only connect a WAF profile when using a security profile. The cost will consist of processing the requests by both the security profile and WAF profile rules. Since the prices for the security profile and WAF profile are the same, the total cost will be twice as large as opposed to only using a security profile.
Let’s calculate the cost of 315.04 million legitimate requests per month processed by security and WAF profile rules:
$834.844800 × 2 = $1,669.689600, excluding VAT.
Where:
- $834.844800: Cost of 315.04 million legitimate requests per month processed by security profile rules.
- × 2: The cost is multiplied by
2since the prices for the security profile and WAF profile are equal.
