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, 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 the 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. This includes 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, which 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
So that your wireless data usage is minimized, 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 geolocation at no extra charge. Our geolocation is 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, you are able to purchase Consumption Credits through Notehub. We operate a pay-as-you-go model; you only pay for what you need, when you need it.
In the Essentials plan, it’s $0.00075 per Consumption Credit (CC), you will pay one CC per ingressed Event.
Enterprise
For customers deploying 500+ devices, we recommend an Enterprise Agreement.
This plan offers significant volume-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
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.
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 credits when your balance reaches your defined minimum balance.
If your Notehub billing account’s Consumption Credit 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.
No, these events are what we consider to be Platform Events, you will not be charged for them.
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.
