Understanding iconnek SYNC Billing ​

Action-Based Pricing Model ​

SYNC 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.

INFO

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 ​

SYNC 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 ​

SYNC 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 SYNC 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.
