Calculate pricing
Standard GraphQL requests
All Query and Mutation GraphQL operations are counted as standard operations, whether they are processed through GraphOS Router, Apollo Server, Apollo Gateway, or another runtime.
Subscription update events
These are subscription-based GraphQL operations, where the client application subscribes to a stream of update events. Metering is based on the number of update events sent to clients. Subscription update events are counted independently of standard operations.
Volume-based tiered pricing
Standard requests
All standard GraphQL operations handled through the graph. The performance add-on applies when features like Entity Caching, Distributed Query Plan, and APQ Caching are enabled.
| Monthly operations | Base rate (USD per million) | Performance add-on (USD per million) |
|---|---|---|
| First 250 million | $5.00 | + $2.00 |
| Next 750 million | $4.25 | + $1.50 |
| Next 4 billion | $3.50 | + $1.00 |
| Over 5 billion | $3.00 | + $0.50 |
