The Smart Access Gateway (SAG) app is billed based on the number of client accounts. By default, each client account has a 5 GB data transfer plan. After the 5 GB data transfer plan is exhausted, you can select the subscription or pay-as-you-go billing method for the exceeded data usage.
Billing rules
The SAG app is billed based on the following rules:
- The SAG app is billed based on the number of client accounts and a tiered pricing
strategy. For more information, see Table 1.
Assume that the number of client accounts is n:
- If n > 100: Fees per month = (n-100) × 5.42 + 100 × 6.96. Unit: USD.
- If n ≤ 100: Fees per month = n × 6.96. Unit: USD.
- After the 5 GB data transfer plan is exhausted, you can purchase a subscription data
transfer plan for the exceeded amount.
- Subscription data transfer plans offer multiple specifications. The validity period of each data transfer plan is one month. For more information about pricing, seeTable 2.
- A subscription data transfer plan is shared by all the SAG app instances and client accounts that are under the same Alibaba Cloud account that has purchased the subscription.
- If the data transfer plan is exhausted, you can select the pay-as-you-go billing method for the exceeded amount. Pay-as-you-go bills are generated on a daily basis. For more information about pricing, see Table 3.
- The 5 GB data transfer plan provided to each client account cannot be shared.
- 5 GB refers to the upper limit of the data transferred from external networks to Alibaba Cloud, or from Alibaba Cloud to external networks.
- The 5 GB data transfer plan or subscription data transfer plan is effective only within the month when the data transfer plan or the subscription is issued.
