IoT Connectivity Costs

Explore our detailed answers to help demystify billing for IoT connectivity. From understanding charges to managing your account, our FAQs are here to provide you with clear, concise information and ensure a seamless experience.

 
How much does the Cobira CMP platform cost?
The Connectivity Management Platform (CMP) is free for all our customers. Base features offer you full control over your SIMs. Suppose your fleet grows and you want to automate workflows or simplify fleet management, then we offer premium features that are charged on a subscription basis.


What is your billing cycle?

Our billing cycle is structured on a monthly basis. At the end of each month, we calculate your charges based on the actual data consumption during that period. This ensures you only pay for what you use, with no surprises or hidden costs.


What if I'm not using my SIM cards, will I still be charged the full amount?

We understand that your connectivity needs may fluctuate. That's precisely why we allow you to place your SIM cards on "Suspend" status if they're not in use. By doing so, you can avoid any monthly fees entirely while your SIMs are inactive. This ensures that you retain your numbers and keep the SIMs ready for activation at no extra cost, providing you with the flexibility to manage your connectivity expenses effectively.


What is "Zero-cost stock inventory" for SIM cards?

At Cobira, we understand the importance of flexibility for our customers. Our "Zero-cost stock inventory" policy means that you can stock up on SIM cards without incurring any running costs. You are only billed for operational services for a SIM card once it has been activated on our CMP Platform. This ensures that you can buy enough SIM cards for stock to reduce the risk of running out, without additional financial burdens before they are put into use.


Data packages or Pay as you go?

Choosing between data packages or pay-as-you-go options is a strategic decision that depends on your unique operational demands. Our offerings are crafted to provide ultimate flexibility — whether your operations demand predictable billing through data packages with automated bulk discounts, or you prefer the agility of a pay-as-you-go plan that adjusts with your month-to-month consumption and geographical deployment. Our platform empowers you with the ability to tailor a connectivity solution that's a perfect fit, ensuring efficiency and scalability whether you're operating globally or within a specific local network.


How are costs affected as my IoT deployment scales?

Scaling your IoT deployment with Cobira is designed to be cost-efficient and transparent. As your number of active SIM cards increases, you benefit from our tiered pricing structure, which reduces the cost per SIM card. This means the more you grow, the less you pay per unit. We also provide detailed analytics and tools within the CMP to forecast and track your spending as you scale, ensuring you can manage your budget effectively with no surprises.
