| Additional Details | Confluent monthly bills are based upon resource consumption, i.e., you are only charged for the resources you use when you actually use them: Stream: Kafka clusters are billed for eCKUs/CKUs ($/hour), networking ($/GB), and storage ($/GB-hour). Connect: Use of connectors is billed based on throughput ($/GB) and a task base price ($/task/hour). Process: Use of stream processing with Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink is calculated based on CFUs ($/minute). Govern: Use of Stream Governance is billed based on environment ($/hour). Confluent storage and throughput is calculated in binary gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB is 2^30 bytes. This unit of measurement is also known as a gibibyte (GiB). Please also note that all prices are stated in United States Dollars unless specifically stated otherwise. All billing computations are conducted in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). | Nextqore uses a consumption-based pricing model with three subscription tiers, priced by monthly data volume therein aligning with an enterprises consumption growth. Standard is $1,200/month for up to 10,000 unique rows processed; Professional is $2,800/month for up to 30,000 rows; Enterprise is $10,000/month for up to 100,000 rows. All three tiers include both core products (AnySource Data Combiner and Data Context Builder) plus Analytics, Visualization, Notifications, and the Enterprise AI Connector — the tiers differ only in volume limits and author/role counts, minimally by feature access. There is no minimum commitment period. Usage beyond the included volume is billed per additional 1,000 rows, at a rate that decreases by tier ($120 on Standard, $100 on Professional, $80 on Enterprise), so unit costs fall as consumption grows. Add-ons include a knowledge-graph-based Ontology/Business Schema layer ($500/month on Standard and Professional, included on Enterprise) and Machine Learning model add-ons priced per model per year ($1,300–$4,500 depending on tier). Organizations with non-standard volume, deployment, or SLA requirements can request a custom configuration directly from Nextqore. | ||||||||||||||
