A pricing model
created for innovators

We use simple, usage-based pricing, measured per GB of data per month. You only pay for data you actively stream or process through the platform.

Here's how it works:
- When you collect 1GB of data, you consume 1GB of your license
- When a transform outputs 1GB, you consume another 1GB
- Emitting data is free, regardless of how many destinations
- Initial bulk loads of datasets are free

For example:
If you stream 10GB of new data through Matterbeam in a month, your bill would be approximately $250. Stream less, pay less.

‍Two important features that affect pricing:
Time Travel:
When you replay historical data, you're charged for the data streamed out. So if you time travel through 6 months of data (10GB) and push it through a transform that outputs 8GB, you'll consume 18GB total.

Free initial loads:
The first time you load data into Matterbeam, if nothing is streaming it downstream, it's free. This lets you backfill history without worrying about cost.

Data written to datasets counts toward usage.

Specifically:
Data collected from sources (databases, APIs, etc.)
Output from transforms
Data replayed through time travel

What's free:
Emitting data to destinations (unlimited)
Initial loads with no downstream processing

Matterbeam tracks data volume at each write point - when collectors write to datasets and when transforms output to datasets. We measure in gigabytes (1GB = 1000MB) and meter only the actual data size, not metadata or Matterbeam's internal record format.
