Pricing Simplified

Our Essentials plan lets you prototype and deploy devices with no subscription or long-term commitment.

If your plans involve higher scale deployments, our Enterprise plan offers multi-year agreements with price protection and significant volume discounts for both Notecard and Notehub.

Step 1: Build Your Device with Notecard

Notecard offers plug-and-play connectivity and two-way communication with your device. Choose from Notecards which support Cellular, WiFi, Satellite, or LoRa - or a combination of radio access technologies for redundancy and improved connectivity coverage.

Many RATs, one API

All Notecards operate using the same API and can be swapped in and out depending on the connectivity needs of your individual deployments.

Ultra-Low Powered

Notecard uses as little as ~8µA when idle. This extremely low power usage is critical for applications that need to run for months or years on battery power.

Secure by Design

The Notecard integrates a Hardware Security Model (HSM) containing symmetric keys manufactured directly into the chip, providing robust protection against physical and cyber-attacks.

Volume Pricing

Significant hardware volume discounts are available to customers under an Enterprise Service Agreement. Get in touch to learn more.

Step 2: Get Your Data into Notehub

Notehub enables users to effortlessly route data to any cloud, manage devices, deploy updates over-the-air, and keep your system secure.

We don’t charge a monthly subscription fee; customers are charged based on the amount of Events which flow into Notehub. These include outbound data sent from Notecard to Notehub, as well as inbound data sent through the Notehub API.

Only Pay for What You Use

You only pay for what you use; there is no need to purchase blocks of credits that may not correspond to your consumption.

Platform Events Included

We don’t charge for Platform Events, which include geolocation, session and other administrative information data, this can make up a substantial number of your total Events.

Egress Data to Multiple Destinations

Send your Events to multiple destinations for free, including data lakes, web services, and archives.

Step 3: Discover Features Included in Every Plan

Work with Events, not Individual Fields

To minimize your wireless data usage, the Notecard is designed so that any number of data 'variables' can be ingressed in a single Event, through both JSON and binary data formats.

High Event Size Limit

A single Event can be up to 128KB. With the Notecard and Notehub, there’s no need to ‘pack’, ‘fragment’ or ‘reassemble’ data because of limits as low as 1024 bytes.

Geolocation Included

All Events are automatically tagged with their physical location at no extra charge. Our geolocation capabilities includel the fusion of GPS, cellular tower, and Wi-Fi triangulation.

Essentials

For customers prototyping or deploying fewer than 500 devices (although there is no hard limit), we recommend the Essentials plan.

Only pay for Events you ingress to Notehub, with up to the first 5,000 Events each month being free. Platform Events will always be free.

When you begin to exceed 5,000 Event ingresses each month, we operate a pay-as-you-go model; you only pay for what you need, when you need it.

On the Essentials plan, it’s $0.00075 per ingressed Event. You are able to purchase additional Events through Notehub.

Create a Notehub Account

Enterprise

For customers deploying 500+ devices, we recommend an Enterprise Agreement.

This plan offers significant committed capacity-based discounts starting from 50% of the cost per Event ingress for Essentials customers.

With an Enterprise Agreement you will also benefit from price protection during your multi-year agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will I be charged?

Instead of paying a monthly subscription fee to use Notehub, customers are charged based on the amount of Event ingresses into Notehub. This includes Data sent from Notecard to Notehub, as well as Data sent through the HTTP API to Notehub.

On the Essentials plan you will receive a monthly allocation of up to 5,000 Events, making the first 5,000 Events every month free. Once your monthly top-up has been used up, each Event cost $0.000750 each and can be purchased through your Notehub account.

What is committed event capacity?

Committed event capacity refers to the capacity of ingress events that Blues will reserve or make available to the customer throughout the term of the agreement (e.g., 3 years). The committed event capacity represents a stand-ready obligation by Blues to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide continuous access and availability of the event services to the customer, regardless of the customer’s actual usage.

If I’m on the Essentials plan, how do I purchase more Events?

Log in to your Notehub account, and go to Settings -> Billing -> Credits. Here you have the option to make one-time purchases or set up auto-recharge, which will automatically purchase Events when your balance reaches your defined minimum balance.

What happens if I’m on the Essentials plan and my billing account runs low or out of Events?

If your Notehub billing account’s balance is below 5,000 at the end of the month, we will refill it up to 5,000 for free. You can set up an alert on your Notehub account to let you know when you are running low to purchase more or set up an auto-recharge.

There are some Events that are automatically generated by Notehub itself. Am I going to be charged for these?

No, these events are what we consider to be Platform Events, you will not be charged for them.

What are Platform Events?

Notecard and Notehub can generate Events that you can see in the Notehub UI. These include Events contained in _session.qo, _log.qo, _health.qo and _geolocate.qo notefiles. These events provide administrative functionality and are useful for diagnostics and support. There are no charges for Platform Events.
