Simple, Usage-Based Pricing

All features included. Pay only for what you use.

All Features Included

Every QuantumStream feature is available in every plan. No tiers, no add-ons, no hidden costs. You get FleetOps Console, Device360, Predictive Maintenance, Root Cause Analysis, Edge Intelligence, QuantumStream IQ, and everything else from day one.

Free Tier

Get started with up to 15 active assets at no cost

Up to 15 Active Assets

One simple limit that applies to both deployment options

All Features

Complete platform access

QS Cloud or Your Cloud

Deploy where you want

No Time Limit

Stay on free tier forever

QS Cloud free tier: You still pay provider pass-through costs for compute, storage, and egress at published rates.
Your cloud free tier: No QS usage charge. You pay your provider directly for infrastructure.

Deployment Options

Choose the deployment model that works best for your organization

QS Cloud

Managed by QuantumStream

Free Tier (≤15 assets)

Pay provider pass-through costs for compute, storage, and egress. All features included. No QS charge.

Standard Pricing (>15 assets)

Provider Pass-Through + QCU
QuantumStream Compute Unit added

Continue paying provider pass-through for all infrastructure. QCU is added on top once you exceed 15 assets.

What You Pay

Provider compute at published rates
Provider storage at published rates
Provider egress at published rates
QCU (if >15 assets)
Fast setup, fully managed

Your Cloud

Self-hosted in your infrastructure

Free Tier (≤15 assets)

No QS charge. Pay your cloud provider directly for all infrastructure costs. All features included.

Standard Pricing (>15 assets)

QCU Only
QuantumStream Compute Unit

Once you exceed 15 assets, QCU is charged by QS. You continue paying your provider directly for all infrastructure usage.

What You Pay

Your provider directly (all infrastructure)
QCU to QuantumStream (if >15 assets)
Full control, your infrastructure

Understanding QCU

QuantumStream Compute Unit — Simple, transparent pricing

QCU = 12% of Monthly Compute

QCU is calculated as 12% of your monthly compute subtotal. The compute subtotal is the value of CPU, RAM, and GPU time at the published provider rates. QCU applies only to compute. Storage and egress remain pure pass-through.

Compute (QCU Applied)

CPU, RAM, and GPU time at provider rates

Storage (Pass-Through)

Billed at exact provider rates, no QCU

Egress (Pass-Through)

Billed at exact provider rates, no QCU

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an "active asset"?

An active asset is any device that has sent telemetry data to QuantumStream within the last 30 days. If a device hasn't communicated in 30 days, it doesn't count toward your limit.

What happens if I exceed 15 assets?

Once you exceed 15 active assets, QCU pricing kicks in automatically. You'll be charged 12% of your monthly compute costs. All features remain the same—nothing changes except the addition of the QCU charge.

How is "compute" different from "storage" and "egress"?

Compute includes CPU time, RAM usage, and GPU hours—the resources that process your data. Storage is where data sits (S3, databases, etc.), and egress is data transfer out of the cloud. QCU only applies to compute; storage and egress are billed at exact provider rates with no markup.

Why is QCU only 12% of compute?

Our edge-first architecture means most processing happens locally on your devices, dramatically reducing cloud compute needs. You save 90-99% on telemetry costs compared to traditional cloud-heavy solutions. The 12% QCU gives you access to the entire QuantumStream platform—predictive maintenance, root cause analysis, fleet intelligence, and more—while keeping your total costs far lower than alternatives.

Can I switch between QS Cloud and my own cloud?

Yes. You can migrate between deployment models. The features and functionality remain identical—only the billing structure changes. Contact us to discuss migration options.

Are there any hidden fees or setup costs?

No hidden fees. No setup costs. No per-seat charges. No feature tiers. You pay exactly what we outlined: provider infrastructure costs and QCU (if you're over 15 assets). That's it.

What if my compute costs fluctuate month to month?

QCU is calculated monthly based on that month's actual compute usage. If your fleet scales up or down, your costs scale proportionally. No annual commitments, no minimum spend.
