Billing & Subscriptions
AnywhereSCADA offers flexible plans designed to grow with your needs — from free evaluation to full production deployments.
Plans
Evaluate (Free)
The free tier lets you explore AnywhereSCADA with no credit card required:
- 8-hour active windows — start a session, and all services are live for 8 hours
- Unlimited resets — start a new window any time, with no expiration
- All features available — broker, historian, and alarms all work during active windows
- 30-day data retention — data older than 30 days is automatically removed
- Data persists between sessions — your metrics and configuration are kept
When the 8-hour window expires, connected clients are gracefully disconnected. Your data remains intact for the next session.

Add-Ons
Add-ons extend your Production subscription with additional capabilities. Each is billed monthly and added to your existing subscription.
| Add-On | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Historian | $449/month | Automatic time-series storage, trend charts, 100 GB |
| Alarms & Notifications | $99/month | Unlimited alarm rules, email/SMS/voice notifications |

Add-ons can be enabled or removed at any time from the Add-ons page. Changes are prorated.
Enabling an Add-On
- Navigate to Add-ons from the account menu
- Click Subscribe on the add-on you want
- The add-on is added to your existing subscription and activates immediately
Removing an Add-On
- Navigate to Add-ons
- Click Remove on the active add-on
- The line item is removed from your subscription with prorated credit
If you remove the Historian add-on, historical data collection stops and retention reverts to 30 days.
Usage Tracking
Production plans include 500,000 metrics per month. A metric is counted each time a Sparkplug B data message is received by the broker.
Usage is tracked across all your spaces. If you exceed the included amount, additional usage is billed at $10 per 500,000 metrics in monthly increments.
You can view your current usage on the account dashboard.
