Overview
16+
--------
17+
18+
|charts-short| on |service| is metered based on the volume of data
19+
transferred from the |charts-short| web server to web browser clients.
20+
MongoDB provides each |charts-short| instance with a free ``1 GB`` of
21+
data transfers per month. You can view your |charts-short| instance's
22+
monthly data usage in the :ref:`Admin Settings <admin-usage>` page.
23+
24+
The free usage tier provides approximately 500,000 chart
25+
renders over a month. However, this number may vary based on the types
26+
of charts being rendered. A number chart or a bar chart with few bars
27+
typically consumes less data, while a scatter chart with many
28+
data points or a large table could consume more.
29+
30+
Once the ``1 GB`` of free data usage has been consumed, MongoDB bills
31+
Charts data transfers at a fixed rate of **$1.00 per GB**.
32+
33+
In addition, any applicable |service| data transfer fees apply, as per
34+
the :guilabel:`Data Transfer Fees` section of the
35+
`Atlas Pricing <https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas/pricing>`__ page.
36+
|charts-short| is hosted on |aws| ``us-east-1`` region, and
37+
uses this region to calculate the fees.
38+
39+
Sample Pricing Scenarios
40+
------------------------
41+
42+
The following examples show the expected monthly charge for different
43+
usage scenarios. Consider:
44+
45+
1. A |charts-short| instance with 5 users, each of whom refreshes a
46+
10-chart :ref:`dashboard <dashboards>` once an hour during business
47+
hours. This results in about 8,000 renders over
48+
the month, and easily falls within the ``1 GB`` free tier.
49+
50+
|
51+
52+
2. A dashboard on a large-screen display with 20 charts set to refresh
53+
every 5 minutes, all 24 hours of the day. This results in about
54+
300,000 renders over the month. Assuming these charts are not
55+
abnormally large, this scenario also falls entirely within the
56+
``1 GB`` free tier.
57+
58+
|
59+
60+
3. A *large* chart embedded on a web page that receives 10,000 views
61+
per day, resulting in 300,000 renders over the month. This chart
62+
takes roughly five times as much data to render compared to a
63+
typical chart, and consumes ``3 GB`` of data over the month.
64+
65+
The first ``1 GB`` is free, and the remaining ``2 GB`` is billed at
66+
$1.00 per GB, resulting in a total cost of $2.00 for the month.
