Stratus-2 Pricing
Our pricing is based on total account-wide usage, meaning all orders, regardless of the model, contribute to your usage tier. The example below illustrates how this applies to the Stratus-2 cloud-removal model, which processes data from Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and Landsat 8/9 as required constellations. For this example, Stratus-2 has a base price of 0.20 EUR per km², but volume-based discounts significantly reduce costs as your total usage increases.
Tiered Pricing Structure
| Tier | Usage Units (UU) | Price per km² | Minitile Price | Tile Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 0 – 5,000 | 0.20 EUR | 1.024 EUR | 52.42 EUR |
| Tier 2 | 5,001 – 50,000 | 0.05 EUR | 0.256 EUR | 13.11 EUR |
| Tier 3 | 50,001 – 500,000 | 0.02 EUR | 0.010 EUR | 5.24 EUR |
| Tier 4 | 500,001 – 5,000,000 | 0.01 EUR | 0.051 EUR | 2.62 EUR |
| Tier 5 | 5,000,001 – 50,000,000 | 0.008 EUR | 0.041 EUR | 2.10 EUR |
| Tier 6 | 50,000,001 – 500,000,000 | 0.006 EUR | 0.031 EUR | 1.57 EUR |
Understanding Tiles Discounts
- A standard tile covers 2,621 km², but due to the large area, tiles are priced at a 90% discount compared to per-km² composite pricing.
- However, tiles only contribute 10% of their area (i.e., 262.1 UU) toward your account’s total usage calculation.
This structure ensures that as your total account-wide usage grows, your effective cost per km² decreases, making large-scale processing significantly more cost-efficient. For full pricing rules, including details on how usage units are calculated, please refer to Introduction of Pricing documentation.
Stratus-2 Pricing Example
Let’s say you choose the Stratus-2 model. The base price per km² is 0.20 EUR. Suppose you order data for an AOI of 1,000 km² for Live Services in March, with images every 2nd day. Your total order area would be approximately 15,000 km² (1,000 km² * 15 images).
-
First 5,000 km²:
Billed at the full price of 0.20 EUR per km²
Calculation: 5,000 km² * 0.20 = 1,000 EUR -
Remaining 10,000 km²:
Billed at the discounted price of 0.05 EUR per km² (75% discount in Tier 2)
Calculation: 10,000 km² * 0.05 = 500 EUR
Thus, the total imagery cost would be:
1,000 EUR + 500 EUR = 1,500 EUR
For a single recurring order, the total recurrent cost for subsequent months would be 1,500 EUR.
