Browser Monitoring Pro Edition in Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS) is billed by daily reported data volume. Two billing methods are available: resource plans (prepaid) and pay-as-you-go (postpaid).
For current pricing, visit the ARMS pricing page. For available regions, see Supported regions.
The prices in this topic are for reference. The actual prices on the buy page take precedence.
Billable items and formula
Three types of reported data count toward billing:
| Billable item | Description | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Page views (PVs) | Page views reported per day | 1 |
| API calls | API calls reported per day | 0.1 |
| Custom data entries | Custom data entries reported per day | 1 |
Daily reported data is calculated as:
Daily reports = PVs + (API calls x 0.1) + custom data entries
Pricing example
A website with 50,000 daily PVs, 200,000 daily API calls, and 5,000 custom data entries per day generates:
Daily reports = 50,000 + (200,000 x 0.1) + 5,000 = 75,000 data entries/day
Over 30 days, that totals 2,250,000 data entries. At the pay-as-you-go rate outside the Chinese mainland (USD 0.058/1,000 entries):
2,250,000 / 1,000 x USD 0.058 = USD 130.50/month
With the 16-million-entry resource plan outside the Chinese mainland (USD 521.60/year), the effective monthly cost drops to approximately USD 43.47 -- a 67% reduction.
Resource plans
Resource plans provide discounted prepaid quotas. Purchase a plan on the Browser Monitoring buy page.
