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.
