Particle · FinOps Profile

Particle Finops

Particle billing is structured around two dimensions: a block-based subscription (each block covers 100 devices and a monthly Data Operations allotment) and cellular data consumption for EtherSIM-equipped devices. The Free tier provides 100 devices and 100K Data Operations at no cost. Paid tiers (Basic at $299/block, Plus at $599/block) scale by adding blocks. Cellular data is bundled within the EtherSIM allotment; Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity carry no additional network charge from Particle.

Particle Finops is the FinOps profile for Particle on the APIs.io network.

It defines 3 billable meters.

Tagged areas include IoT, Internet of Things, Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

Meters

Data Operations
Unit: data_operations
A Data Operation is consumed each time a message is sent to or from a device and when that data is processed within the Particle cloud. This is the primary consumption unit driving Particle costs.
Devices
Unit: devices
Number of claimed devices (hardware modules) registered to the account or product fleet. Billing blocks are sized in increments of 100 devices.
Cellular Data (EtherSIM)
Unit: megabytes
Cellular data consumed by EtherSIM-based devices. Particle caps cellular data usage to ensure Data Operations budget is the effective constraint. Wi-Fi and Ethernet devices incur no network charge from Particle.
