Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS) bills Browser Monitoring Basic Edition based on the volume of reported data, which includes page views, API calls, and custom data entries.
For current pricing, visit the ARMS pricing page. For available regions, see Supported regions.
The prices in this topic are for reference. The actual prices on the buy page take precedence.
Billable items
Three types of reported data count toward your bill:
Page views (PVs)
API calls
Custom data entries
The data reporting fee is calculated daily:
Data reporting fee = Daily reports x Unit price x Number of days
Where:
Daily reports = PVs per day + (API calls per day x 0.1) + Custom data entries per day
Unit price = USD 0.00444 per 1,000 reported data entries (USD 0.00000444 per entry)
NoteThe unit price above applies to the Chinese mainland only. For all regions outside the Chinese mainland, the unit price is 1.4x higher (USD 0.006216 per 1,000 entries).
The following example uses the China (Hangzhou) region.
Assumptions (daily averages):
| Metric | Daily volume |
|---|---|
| PVs | 2,000,000 |
| API calls | 20,000,000 |
| Custom data entries | 200,000 |
Monthly calculation:
| Step | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Daily reports | 2,000,000 + (20,000,000 x 0.1) + 200,000 | 4,200,000 |
| Monthly traffic | 4,200,000 x 30 days | 126,000,000 |
| Monthly fee | 126,000,000 x (USD 0.00444 / 1,000) | USD 559.44 |
Monthly cost in USD = 126,000,000 x (0.00444 / 1,000) = 559.44
