Understanding Pricing And Usage :
There are multiple factors that need to be considered when asking “Will I get charged?”
- COST
- Street View API usage costs every time the image is displayed on any dashboard
- Cost for the first 100,000 images is $0.007 ($7 per 1,000)
- You will only be charged if you exceed $200 a month
- MONTHLY CREDIT
- When signing up for your account, you will have a $200 per month credit
- CALL VOLUME
- Each time you are dispatched and alarm screen shows, the Street View API will be called
- NUMBER OF DASHBOARDS
- If you have multiple dashboards, and each dashboard gets every alarm, the API will be called on EACH dashboard
- EXAMPLE SCENARIO
- Average Monthly calls 300 and you have 5 dashboards which get every alarm
- 300 x 5 = 1,500 API calls
- 1500 x $0.007 = $10.50 cost
- Average Monthly calls 300 and you have 5 dashboards which get every alarm
