APIG is available in basic, professional, enterprise, and platinum editions, which you can choose to meet your service requirements. For details, see Specifications. If your current gateway edition cannot meet your requirements, upgrade it, for example, from basic to professional or platinum. The upgrade will not affect your services.

For details about the unit price of each edition, see the pay-per-use billing prices in Pricing Details.

Bandwidth

Duration (hours)

Time for which you have used your gateway. Unit: hour (precise to seconds).

Quantity

Billing Example

Assume that you have enabled a professional gateway without bandwidth at the unit price of $3.53 USD/hour. You purchased this gateway on Mar 8, 2023, 15:50:04 and deleted it on Mar 10, 2023, 17:50:00. The price calculation formula is as follows:

The result is rounded to the nearest two decimal places. If the price is less than $0.01 USD (after rounding off), $0.01 USD will be displayed. For this example, the price is $176.50 USD.
