Chat Service Pricing
Basic Service Fee
The basic service fee covers two parts: the resource plan fee and out-of-plan resource usage fee.
Resource plan fee: Chat offers the Developer, Standard, and Premium editions. The edition for a created application defaults to the Developer edition (free). You can choose a plan based on your needs. For resource plan comparison, see Comparison of billing plans.
Out-of-plan resource usage fee: The fee charged for resource usage that exceeds the free quota of the Standard or Premium edition plan.
The billing details are as follows:
Item | Billing Method | Plan Type | | |
| | Developer Edition | Standard Edition | Premium Edition |
Resource plan fee | Prepaid | Free of charge | 399 USD/month | 699 USD/month |
Out-of-plan resource usage fee (MAU) | Pay-as-you-go | - | 0.015 USD/user/month | |
Note:
MAU calculates the number of unique users that log in to your Chat app in a given month. After a user logs in successfully by calling the
login function of the Chat SDK to establish a persistent connection with the Chat backend, MAU will be increased by one. A user that logs in repeatedly in the same month is considered as one user only for MAU. Use the login function appropriately according to business scenarios to avoid an excessively high MAU.
