EMQX Tables Product Plans

EMQX Tables offers flexible deployment plans tailored for different IoT application scales, from development and testing to production-grade, large-scale analytics.

EMQX Tables provides two plans:

• Starter: A single-AZ plan for development, proof-of-concept projects, and lightweight production workloads.
• Pro: A high-availability plan for production workloads that require multi-AZ resilience and higher performance.

Support	8x5 basic support	24/7 expert support
SLA	99.5%	99.9%

Starter Plan

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 Cloud. Starter Plan deployments support only single-node deployments.

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.

Pro Plan

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
• 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 99.9% SLA for production workloads

This plan supports large-scale IoT deployments, stricter uptime requirements, and advanced network and security configurations for industrial-grade IoT systems.

Available Tiers and Pricing (Starter Plan)

Tier	Storage	Egress Traffic / Month	Price (USD/hour)	Availability
2 vCPU / 8 GB	100 GB	100 GB	$0.39	Available
4 vCPU / 16 GB	200 GB	200 GB	$0.75	Available
8 vCPU / 32 GB	500 GB	500 GB	$1.39	Available
16 vCPU / 64 GB	1 TB	1 TB	$2.58	Available

Available Tiers and Pricing (Pro Plan)

The Pro Plan is billed hourly by deployment. High availability is part of the Pro plan and is not charged as a separate line item.

Tier	Included Compressed Storage	Egress Traffic / Month	Price (USD/hour)	Monthly Estimate (730h)
2 vCPU / 8 GB	100 GB	100 GB	$0.69	~$503.70 / month
4 vCPU / 16 GB	200 GB	200 GB	$1.35	~$985.50 / month
8 vCPU / 32 GB	500 GB	500 GB	$2.49	~$1,817.70 / month
16 vCPU / 64 GB	1 TB	1 TB	$4.59	~$3,350.70 / month

The monthly estimate includes only the base fee for 730 hours. It does not include overage storage or overage egress traffic. The actual available tiers and prices are shown in the pricing summary in the EMQX Cloud Console.

Billing Metrics:

• Instance runtime: hourly billing based on selected tier
• Storage: $0.04 / GB-month (beyond included quota, compressed)
• Egress Traffic: $0.09 / GB for Starter and $0.15 / GB for Pro (beyond included quota)

Trial accounts are limited to the 2C8G instance size and single-node deployments only.

The Pro Plan does not support free trials.

Tier Selection Guide

Use the following performance estimates to choose the right tier for your workload.

CPU	RAM	IOPS	Writes per second	Queries per second	Unique series
2 cores	8 GB	1000	< 10,000	< 50	< 100,000
4 cores	16 GB	2000+	< 200,000	< 100	< 1,000,000
8 cores	32 GB	2000+	< 300,000	< 150	> 1,000,000
16 cores	64 GB	3000+	< 500,000	< 200	> 1,000,000

Queries per second figures apply to typical time-range queries. Actual performance varies by query complexity and data distribution.

Cloud Providers and Regions

The Starter Plan now supports the following cloud providers and regions.

Cloud Provider	Region
AWS	US: N. Virginia (us-east-1), Ohio (us-east-2), Oregon (us-west-2) EU: Frankfurt (eu-central-1) Asia: Singapore (ap-southeast-1), Mumbai (ap-south-1)
Azure	US: East US (eastus), West US 3 (westus3) EU: Germany West Central (germanywestcentral) Asia: Southeast Asia (southeastasia)
Google Cloud	US: Iowa (us-central1), Oregon (us-west1) EU: London (europe-west2), Frankfurt (europe-west3) Asia: Singapore (asia-southeast1), Taiwan (asia-east1)

EMQX Tables Pro is available on AWS in US East (Ohio) (us-east-2) and Google Cloud in Iowa (us-central1). The cloud providers and regions available to your account are shown in the EMQX Cloud Console.

EMQX Tables Pro has the following limitations:

• A paid account is required. Free trials, annual subscriptions, and annual renewals are not supported.
• Online scaling is not available in the Console.
• The maximum self-service tier is 16 vCPU / 64 GB RAM. Contact support if you need a larger size.
