Standard Edition billing
Standard Edition instances use pay-as-you-go billing. You are charged only for messages transmitted and resources consumed, which suits workloads with small or highly variable message volumes.
Messaging fee
The messaging feature is enabled by default when you activate ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ. All Standard Edition instances incur a messaging fee based on usage.
For rates and calculation details, see Pricing details of the messaging feature.
Internet traffic fee
ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ supports two connection methods: public endpoints and virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoints. Connecting through a public endpoint incurs an Internet traffic fee. VPC connections do not incur this fee.
For rates, see Internet traffic fee.
Free quotas
Standard Edition includes free messaging quotas. For specific amounts, see Free quotas.
Enterprise Platinum Edition billing
Enterprise Platinum Edition instances use subscription billing. Paying upfront provides discounted rates. This edition suits workloads with high SLA requirements or large message volumes.
