Pricing

Developers shall subscribe to a plan before getting the permissions of basic API calls and message subscriptions. Tuya provides the following plans according to different user needs.

Note: Resource reference is provided for your reference, assuming that you use 50% quota for calling APIs and 50% quota for message service from an international data center. You can allocate the quota as needed.

Billing method

Cloud Development Platform calculates the fee based on your actual resource usage every month. You will not be subject to the additional fee without exceeding the monthly quota. The excess usage will be billed based on actual usage.

Note:

• Plan 1 applies to America, Europe, India, and more, and Plan 2 applies to mainland China.
• After the monthly quota of the Trial Edition is used up, the API calls and message service will be suspended. You need to wait for the quota refresh next month or subscribe to a plan to continue using it.

Billing example

Example 1

Account A of Standard Edition calls APIs 30 million times a month from Plan 1 and subscribes to 100 million messages.

Monthly fee:

• API calls: 30 million times × USD3.52 per million times = USD105.60
• Message subscription: 100 million messages × USD1.39 per million messages = USD139.00

The total fee is 105.60 + 139.00 = USD244.6, which is within the USD300 limit. No additional fees are billed.

Example 2

Account B of Standard Edition calls APIs 30 million times a month from Plan 1 and subscribes to 300 million messages.

Monthly fee:

• API calls: 30 million times × USD3.52 per million times = USD105.60
• Message subscription: 300 million messages × USD1.39 per million messages = USD417.00

The total fee is 105.60 + 417.00 = USD522.60. After the USD300 subscription limit is deducted, an additional fee of USD222.60 is billed.
