Pricing

Once live, pay only for what you use.

brainCloud pricing is perfectly elastic, scaling up and down based on how much (or how little) your app uses our servers. Choose one of our Plus plans for access to RTT, Hosting and Deep Data features.
And finally, our new Bulk+ plans allow high-volume customers to pre-purchase API counts at a discount.

Write Scripts – brainCloud understands cloud code syntax and APIs and can write scripts for you. Even better, brainBot helps you test and debug interactively!

Feature Setup – feature configuration can sometimes be tedious. Need to extend your XP level cap from 30 → 40? Adjust the slope of the XP curve? Let brainBot do it for you!

Translate – brainBot can fill in missing localizations for your Item Catalog, Cash Products, and Promotions.

Collaborate – brainBot helps you fill in the gaps in your inventory of Cash Products, Items, and Bundles.
