How Will I Be Billed for Global Accelerator?

Billing Mode

Only pay-per-use is available. The bill for each month is generated at the beginning of the next calendar month.

Billing Items

**Table 1** Global Accelerator pricing details
Billing Item	Description	Price
Global accelerators	You are charged based on how long each global accelerator is retained in your account. The smallest billing unit is one hour. Partial hours are counted as full hours. Global accelerator price = Unit price x Required duration	$0.356 USD/hour
Data transfer	You are charged for either the inbound or outbound traffic, whichever direction has more traffic. Data transfer price = Unit price x Traffic used	The actual price is subject to what is displayed on the Global Accelerator console. NOTE: See Acceleration Area for available acceleration areas. The regions where an endpoint group can be deployed are those you can select on the Global Accelerator console.

Billing Examples

Suppose you have an application deployed in Guangzhou, if you want end users in Türkiye to be able to access your application faster, you need a global accelerator.

If end users in Türkiye access your application, inbound traffic to your application is 1 GB and outbound traffic from your application is 20 GB, you are only charged for the 20 GB of outbound traffic but not the 1 GB of inbound traffic.

The total price for using this global accelerator for an hour can be calculated using the following formula: Global accelerator price + Data transfer price = $0.356 USD/hour x 1 hour +1.098 x 20 GB = $22.316 USD
