Understanding Iconnek Billing

Action-Based Pricing Model

Iconnek employs a usage-based billing system that charges based on the number of actions executed across all your scenarios. In this context, an "action" refers to a node running within your scenario.

To configure your plan and learn more about its inclusions and limitations, go to Configuration > Subscription.

Key Points to Understand:

1. Billing Formula: Your monthly charges are calculated based on the total number of node executions across all your scenarios.

2. Scenario Efficiency Matters: The more frequently your scenarios run, the more actions they consume. This makes optimization crucial for cost management.

3. Node Count Impact: Complex scenarios with many nodes will consume more actions than streamlined scenarios with fewer nodes performing the same function.

Free Trial Option

Iconnek offers a limited free version for testing and evaluation purposes:

• Action Limit: 500 actions per month

• Purpose: Ideal for testing integration concepts and familiarizing yourself with the platform

• Upgrading: Once you exceed 500 actions, you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan to continue using the service

Subscription Plans

Iconnek offers several plans that include a predetermined number of actions:

• When your allocated actions are fully consumed, your automations will stop running until the beginning of the next billing cycle

• You can upgrade to a larger plan at any time to immediately increase your action allowance

• Usage monitoring is available through the Dashboard, allowing you to track consumption and plan accordingly

Optimizing Your Usage

To manage costs effectively:

• Consolidate similar functions within fewer nodes when possible

• Schedule scenarios to run only when necessary rather than at frequent intervals

• Use filtering early in your workflows to reduce unnecessary processing

• Monitor your action consumption regularly through the Iconnek dashboard

• Consider batch processing instead of individual processing where appropriate

Understanding this pricing model helps ensure you design cost-effective integration scenarios that achieve your objectives while maintaining reasonable operating costs.
