Simple, Transparent Pricing
Aethernet offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model with a free tier, ensuring cost-effective scalability for all users. Our flat pricing applies globally—no regional variations, no hidden fees.
You’re only charged for what you use:
Data Transfer: $2 per 1 GB (in + out). Only the payload of UDP/TCP is counted. TLS/DTLS, HTTP, and WebSocket protocols may add extra overhead.
Self-Provisioning: $0.001 per request.
UID Leasing:
First UID: $0.50 per month
Next 100 UIDs: $0.02 per UID per month
Additional UIDs: $0.00002 per UID per month
No upfront commitments—just seamless, scalable networking.
Free tier
Every new anonymously self-provisioned client starts with an account balance of $0, with a credit limit of -$10. This allows clients to use Aethernet services freely within this limit.
Clients can also use their account balance to transact on the marketplace, but only if their balance is positive.
Daily Auto-Refill
Each 24 hours since client creation date, the account is automatically credited with $0.03, up to a maximum balance of $0.
This ensures continuous access to connected devices within the free tier.
If a client (along with all associated child clients) remains offline for over a month, auto-refilling is disabled.
Reaching the credit limit
Once the account reaches - $10, the client can still use Aethernet, but at a reduced request frequency. Each server response will indicate the earliest time for the next request.
Below the credit limit
If the client's account is below the credit limit of -$10 longer than a month then the client is erased with all child clients. If the value of the account becomes higher than -$10 then the slowing down mode turns off with the graceful period of one month starting to count from the beginning.
If the account remains below -$10 for over a month, the client and all associated child clients are permanently deleted.
If the account balance rises above - $10, normal request speeds resume, with a one-month grace period restarting from that moment.
This model ensures fair access while preventing inactive accounts from consuming resources indefinitely.
Examples
The table below shows the average spendings per month for different use cases. Budget is the amount of money per month that the user should pay above the free tier to get the full speed of service. Green rows highlight free tier use cases.
One offline client
A client is self-provisioned under anonymous namespace and never used.
1) Clients Self-Provisioning
The client self-provisions once: $0.001
This is charged immediately, bringing the initial account balance to -$0.001.
2) UID Leasing
First UID costs $0.50 per month.
The auto-refill does not accumulate beyond $0, so the account remains at $0 while refilling is active.
3) Traffic Cost
The client is permanently offline → No traffic cost ($0).
4) Account Balance Over Time
Month 1 - 20:
Auto-refill keeps the account at $0 while active but it is deactivated after one month of the client inactivity.
UID leasing charges $0.50 per month, bringing the account down gradually:
Month 1: -$0.50
Month 2: -$1.00
Month 3: -$1.50
...
Month 20: -$10.00
Month 21 (Credit Limit Reached):
Account reaches - $10, triggering 1-month grace period.
Month 22 (Deletion):
At the end of the grace period, the client is permanently deleted.
Final Outcome
The client remains active for 21 months while auto-refilling keeps the balance at $0 for the first month while auto-refill is active.
In Month 21, the account reaches - $10, triggering a 1-month grace period.
In Month 22, the client is permanently erased.
Net cost to the user: $0 (fully covered by auto-refill).
5 online clients 10 bytes msg / hour
5 self-provisioned always online clients (one for the application service, 4 Arduino clients) sending 10 bytes request (with response) every hour.
1) UID Leasing
First UID: $0.50 per month
Next 4 UIDs: $0.02 per UID per month
Total UID leasing cost per month:
$0.50 (first UID)
$0.02 × 4 = $0.08 (next 4 UIDs)
Total: $0.58 per month
2) Traffic Cost (Including Overhead)
Per Client Traffic:
Message size = 10 bytes + 68 bytes (overhead for response and encryption) = 78 bytes per message
Messages per hour = 1
Messages per day = 24
Traffic per day per client:
78 bytes × 24 = 1,872 bytes (0.001872 MB)
Traffic per month per client:
0.001872 MB × 30 days = 0.05616 MB
Total Traffic for 5 Clients:
0.05616 MB × 5 = 0.2808 MB per month
Total GB per month:
0.2808 MB ÷ 1024 = 0.000274 GB
Total traffic cost per month:
0.000274 GB × $2 = $0.000548
3) Total Budget Before Auto-Refill
UID Leasing (monthly): $0.58
Traffic Cost (monthly): $0.000548
Total Cost per Month: $0.575548
4) User Expenses After Auto-Refill
Daily auto-refill: $0.03
Monthly auto-refill: $0.03 × 30 = $0.90
Since $0.90 > $0.575548, the cost is completely covered by auto-refill.
Final Outcome
The clients remain active indefinitely without reaching the credit limit.
Total out-of-pocket cost: $0 (fully covered by auto-refill).
50 bytes msg + pull requests every 10 seconds
Given Parameters
5 clients are online.
Each client sends a 50-byte message every 10 seconds, with 3 replicas.
Each client also sends a 10-byte pull request every 10 seconds (no overhead).
Overhead per non-pull message = 68 bytes.
Total time: 30 days per month.
1) UID Leasing
First UID: $0.50 per month
Next 4 UIDs: $0.02 per UID per month
Total UID leasing cost per month:
$0.50 (first UID)
$0.02 × 4 = $0.08 (next 4 UIDs)
Total: $0.58 per month
2) Traffic Cost (Including Overhead Where Applicable)
Main Messages (with replicas and overhead)
Message size per replica = 50 + 68 = 118 bytes
3 replicas → 118 × 3 = 354 bytes per message
Messages per minute = 6 (every 10 sec)
Messages per hour = 360
Messages per day = 8,640
Traffic per client per day:
354 bytes × 8,640 = 3,059,040 bytes (≈ 2.92 MB)
Traffic per month per client:
2.92 MB × 30 = 87.6 MB
Pull Requests (no overhead)
Pull request size = 10 bytes
Pull requests per minute = 6
Pull requests per hour = 360
Pull requests per day = 8,640
Traffic per client per day:
10 bytes × 8,640 = 86,400 bytes (≈ 0.082 MB)
Traffic per month per client:
0.082 MB × 30 = 2.46 MB
Total Traffic for One Client
87.6 MB (main messages) + 2.46 MB (pull requests) = 90.06 MB per month
Total traffic for 5 clients:
90.06 MB × 5 = 450.3 MB per month
450.3 MB ÷ 1024 = 0.4397 GB per month
Traffic Cost
0.4397 GB × $2 = $0.879 per month
3) Total Budget Before Auto-Refill
UID Leasing (monthly): $0.58
Traffic Cost (monthly): $0.879
Total Cost per Month: $1.454
4) User Expenses After Auto-Refill
Daily auto-refill: $0.03
Monthly auto-refill: $0.03 × 30 = $0.90
User's remaining expenses:
$1.454 - $0.90 = $0.554 per month
Final Outcome
The clients remain active indefinitely if the user covers $0.554 per month out of pocket since auto-refill does not fully cover costs.

0.49 MB × 30 = 14.69 MB
Pull Requests (no overhead)
Pull request size = 10 bytes
Pull requests per hour = 60
Pull requests per day = 1,440
Traffic per day:
10 bytes × 1,440 = 14,400 bytes (≈ 0.014 MB)
Traffic per month:
0.014 MB × 30 = 0.43 MB
Total Traffic for the One Online Client
14.69 MB (main messages) + 0.43 MB (pull requests) = 15.12 MB per month
Total GB per month:
15.12 MB ÷ 1024 = 0.0148 GB
Traffic Cost
0.0148 GB × $2 = $0.0296 per month
3) Total Budget Before Auto-Refill
UID Leasing (monthly): $0.68
Traffic Cost (monthly): $0.0296
Total Cost per Month: $0.7086
4) User Expenses After Auto-Refill

10 bytes × 24 = 240 bytes (≈ 0.00024 MB)
Traffic per month per client:
0.00024 MB × 30 = 0.0072 MB
Traffic for 40,000,000 online clients:
0.0072 MB × 40,000,000 = 288,000 MB = 288 GB per month
Total Traffic for 40,000,000 Online Clients
24.6 TB (main messages) + 288 GB (pull requests) = 24.888 TB per month
Traffic Cost
24.888 TB × $2 = $49,776 per month
3) Total Budget Before Auto-Refill
UID Leasing (monthly): $39,999.998
Traffic Cost (monthly): $49,776
Total Cost per Month: $89,775.998
4) User Expenses After Auto-Refill
Daily auto-refill for user: $0.03
Monthly auto-refill for user: $0.03 × 30 = $0.90
User’s remaining expenses:
$89,775.998 (total costs) - $0.90 (auto-refill) = $89,775.098
5) New Clients per Month
10,000,000 new clients are created each month, which will increase the self-provisioning and UID leasing costs each month:
10,000,000 × $0.001 = $10,000 for self-provisioning of new clients.
10,000,000 × $0.02 = $200,000 for UID leasing of new clients.
New total self-provisioning and UID leasing for the next month:
$10,000 (self-provisioning) + $200,000 (UID leasing) = $210,000
Final Outcome
Total monthly expenses for the user:
$89,775 (total monthly cost without including new clients)
$210,000 (new clients)
Total out-of-pocket cost: $299,775 per month.
500Mb/month messaging
Given Parameters
Let's have calculation for 20,000 total clients, where:
10,000 clients are online, generating 0.5 GB of traffic per month through messaging.
Pull request every minute.
UID leasing costs:
First UID: $0.50 per month
Next 99 UIDs: $0.02 per UID per month
Remaining 19,900 UIDs: $0.00002 per UID per month
1) UID Leasing
First UID: $0.50 per month
Next 99 UIDs: $0.02 × 99 = $1.98 per month
Remaining 19,900 UIDs: $0.00002 × 19,900 = $0.398 per month
Total UID leasing cost per month:
$0.50 + $1.98 + $0.398 = $2.878 per month
2) Traffic Cost
Messaging Traffic: 0.5 GB per client per month
Total Messaging Traffic for 10,000 clients:
0.5 GB × 10,000 = 5,000 GB = 5 TB per month
Traffic Cost (messaging only):
5 TB × $2 = $10,000 per month
Pull Requests (no overhead)
Pull request size = 10 bytes
Pull requests per minute → 60 per hour
Pull requests per day → 1,440
Pull requests per month → 1,440 × 30 = 43,200
Traffic per month per client:
10 bytes × 43,200 = 432,000 bytes = 0.432 MB
Traffic for 10,000 online clients:
0.432 MB × 10,000 = 4,320 MB = 4.32 GB
Total Traffic for 10,000 Online Clients
5 TB (messaging) + 4.32 GB (pull requests) ≈ 5.0043 TB per month
Total Traffic Cost
5.0043 TB × $2 = $10,008.60 per month
3) Total Budget Before Auto-Refill
UID Leasing (monthly): $2.878
Traffic Cost (monthly): $10,008.60
Total Cost per Month: $10,011.478
4) User Expenses After Auto-Refill
Daily auto-refill for user: $0.03
Monthly auto-refill for user: $0.03 × 30 = $0.90
User’s remaining expenses:
$10,011.478 (total costs) - $0.90 (auto-refill) = $10,010.578
Final Outcome
Total monthly expenses for the user: $10,010.58
