Volume-Based Device Agent Pricing
The volume-based subscriptions employ a fee based on the total number of devices you have made and deployed and it licenses you to embed the device agent in your devices. It also provides the right to update and apply security patches to your existing devices while your subscription is active.
The volume-based subscriptions are billed yearly in advance and offer a lower-cost of entry for smaller device volumes.

Free Evaluation
You can evaluate device agents for free by using the evaluation device agent download. This software is a recent release of the device agent, but does not include the latest patches and features. The eval license includes the ability to embed the agent in one device.
Device Volume
The volume-based subscription fee is based on the total installed base of devices that embed the device agent. The price is calculated via a sliding scale where the per-device price decreases with increased volume. The more you build, the lower the subscription per device.
You enter and maintain the total installed base of devices for your subscription via the Builder site on the Product page.
Volume Price Brackets
The following price table shows the device subscription price brackets at increasing volume levels.
The price column shows the subscription per-device price once that number of manufactured devices been reached. Subscription prices are per year.
| Volume | Price |
|---|---|
| 1-9 | $35 |
| 10-99 | $8.80 |
| 100-999 | $2.20 |
| 1000-9999 | $.55 |
| 10000-99999 | $.14 |
| 100000+ | $.05 |
Billing Period
The volume-based subscriptions are billed yearly in advance.
If you discontinue your agent subscription, you need to cease shipping new products that include the device agent. You can continue to use existing devices that contain the device agent or the Ioto cloud service. An active subscription is required to download new software updates or security patches.
Pricing Example
For example: If you have 1001 devices manufactured, the calculation would be as follows:
- Devices 1 to 10 -- $35 each
- Devices 11 to 100 -- $8.80 each
- Devices 101 to 1000 - $2.20 each
- Device 1001 -- $0.55
So the annual device subscription would be: $35 x 9 + $8.80 x 90 + $2.20 x 900 + $0.29 * 1
Annual Total: $3,087.29
