Package overview
Basic Package: The fundamental package that provides access to the basic features of AgentBay.
Pro Package: Includes all features of the Basic Package. It offers more concurrent sessions and supports custom images and some advanced features.
Ultra Package: Includes all features of the Pro Package. It further increases the concurrent session limit, supports scaling out, and provides access to custom images and all advanced features.
The Pro and Ultra Packages use a monthly subscription model. You can purchase them on the AgentBay Packages page. The following table compares the features of each package.
Package | Basic | Pro | Ultra | |
Price | Free + Pay-as-you-go for resources | CNY 999/month + Pay-as-you-go for resources | CNY 1499/month + Pay-as-you-go for resources | |

Notes:
Concurrent session license: The maximum number of sessions that can run simultaneously. A session represents an independent interaction flow, such as an application launch or an automated task. It is not a long-running compute instance.
Pay-as-you-go: You are billed for computing resources after they are used.
Basic bandwidth: Each instance includes 10 Mbps of free basic bandwidth by default. This bandwidth is measured by inbound traffic and does not include a Service-Level Agreement (SLA).
Advanced bandwidth: Provides dedicated bandwidth resources. It supports custom peak bandwidth and allocates an exclusive IP address per UID. This is suitable for scenarios that require high network stability. Additional charges apply.
Storage: Used for the persistence of context data and session replay records. Usage beyond the included quota is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. The minimum billing unit is MiB. This does not include system disks or data disks of computing resources.
The free quota in a package is non-transferable and non-refundable. Packages may change because of feature upgrades and iterations. Wuying AgentBay reserves the right to change the preceding content. For the latest information, see the Product Announcements.
Package rules
Package changes
You can upgrade a Pro Package to an Ultra Package.
You cannot downgrade an Ultra Package to a Pro Package.
After you upgrade, you are immediately billed for the old package based on the duration of use.
After you upgrade, the new package is valid for the remainder of your current subscription period. You must pay the pro-rated price difference for the remaining time.
The formula for the price difference is:
Price difference = (Ultra Package price - Pro Package price) × (Remaining subscription days / 30)
Example: If you purchase a Pro Package on October 1 and upgrade to an Ultra Package on October 10, the price difference is:
CNY 333.33 ≈ (CNY 1,499 - CNY 999) × (30 - 10) / 30
Package renewal
To ensure uninterrupted service for your business, we recommend that you enable auto-renewal.
Go to the Alibaba Cloud Expenses and Costs console.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose .
On the Manual Renewal tab, click Enable Auto-renewal to the right of the target Wuying AgentBay product.
You can use the same method to enable or disable auto-renewal at any time.
Package downgrade
If a Pro or Ultra Package becomes invalid because of an overdue payment or for other reasons, it is downgraded to the Basic Package. This downgrade has the following effects:
Enabled custom images become invalid immediately.
Custom image files are retained for three months. If you do not renew the package by the end of this period, the custom image files are deleted.
The included storage quota is reduced from 1 TB to 100 GB. Storage usage that exceeds 100 GB is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Pay-as-you-go storage data size = Actual storage data size - Included storage data size of the current package
Pay-as-you-go
Pay-as-you-go billing covers computing, token, network, and storage resources. The specific billing rules are as follows:
Computing resources
Resource type | Unit price | Billing precision | Description |

Billing example
A customer purchases the Ultra Package and sets a custom peak concurrency of 250. In one month (30 days), the customer creates 60,000 sessions at different times, with the peak concurrency not exceeding 250. Each session uses a 4-core, 8 GB resource specification and runs for an average of 10 minutes. The customer also enables advanced bandwidth, with total inbound traffic of 1,000 GB. Some sessions call the Agent API, consuming 30 million input tokens and 50 million output tokens. The total storage usage for context and other data is 10 TB. The estimated monthly cost is approximately CNY 18,395. The billing details are as follows:
Item | Subitem | Calculation formula | Cost |
Package fee | Ultra Package | CNY 1499 | CNY 1499 |
Concurrency scale-out | (250 concurrent sessions - 200 concurrent sessions) × CNY 10/concurrent session | CNY 500 | |
Pay-as-you-go resources | CPU | 4 cores × CNY 0.2/core/hour × 10 minutes/60 minutes × 60,000 sessions | CNY 8000 |
Memory | 8 GB × CNY 0.05/GB/hour × 10 minutes/60 minutes × 60,000 sessions | CNY 4000 | |
Input token | 30,000 thousand tokens × CNY 0.01/1,000 tokens | CNY 300 | |
Output token | 50,000 thousand tokens × CNY 0.04/1,000 tokens | CNY 2000 | |
Network | Advanced bandwidth 1000 GiB × CNY 0.8/GiB | CNY 800 | |
Storage | (10 TB - 1 TB included in package) × CNY 0.0002/GB/hour × 30 days × 24 hours | CNY 1296 | |
Total | CNY 18395 | ||
FAQ
Is the Basic Package completely free?
The Basic Package itself is free. It provides access to the basic features of AgentBay and includes a 100 GB storage quota. However, you are still charged on a pay-as-you-go basis for computing resources, such as CPU and memory, storage usage that exceeds the quota, and any other pay-as-you-go resources you use.
Am I billed for idle sessions?
Yes, you are. As long as a session is in the running state and not deleted, the computing resources (CPU and memory) that it occupies are continuously billed, regardless of whether its internal processes are executing tasks.
Is the package period calculated by calendar month or from the purchase date?
The package period is calculated based on the purchase date, not by calendar month. A package is valid until 00:00 on the day after the corresponding date in the following month. For example, if you purchase a package on October 10, it is valid until 00:00 on November 11. The purchase date is included as a complimentary day.
