Starter Plan (Preview)
The Starter Plan is designed for individual developers, small teams, or early-stage projects that need a lightweight, managed time-series database integrated with EMQX Platform.
It’s ideal for:
- Prototyping and proof-of-concept (PoC) deployments
- Collecting and visualizing basic MQTT telemetry
- Evaluating the EMQX Cloud data pipeline end-to-end
With built-in MQTT integration, SQL querying, and out-of-the-box storage and egress limits, the Starter Plan helps you get started quickly, with no need to manage infrastructure, connect external databases, or worry about scaling.
Starter Plan deployments are billed hourly by instance size and support only single-node deployments.
Pro Plan (Coming Soon)
The Pro Plan is built for production-ready, high-scale IoT deployments that require resilience, performance, and enterprise-grade features.
Choose the Pro Plan if you:
- Operate mission-critical IoT systems and need high availability (multi-AZ)
- Require private networking, such as VPC peering or PrivateLink
- Plan to ingest large volumes of telemetry data at high frequency
- Need multi-cloud flexibility (AWS, Azure, GCP) to align with your infrastructure strategy
- Expect 24/7 support and a 99.99% SLA for guaranteed uptime and reliability
This plan will support large-scale IoT deployments, stricter uptime requirements, and advanced network and security configurations for industrial-grade IoT systems.
