Navigate to the [{{% tts %}} fee calculator](https://accounts.thethingsindustries.com/fee-calculator) page. | ||
Navigate to the [{{% tts %}} Plans](https://accounts.thethingsindustries.com/fee-calculator) page. | ||
|
||
First, you need to choose your entry level. If you are just exploring {{% tts %}} functionalities and performance, we suggest you pick **{{% tts %}} Discovery**. If you are already a user of {{% tts %}} and want to scale up, **{{% tts %}}** is the right choice for you. | ||
First, you need to choose your entry level. | ||
|
||
If you choose {{% tts %}} entry level, you'll also need to choose your deployment and device bundle. | ||
If you are just exploring {{% tts %}} functionalities and performance, we suggest you pick **{{% tts %}} Discovery**. | ||
|
||
Next, you need to pick your support plan. Available plans are **DIY**, **Standard** and **Priority**, but keep in mind that all plans are not available for all {{% tts %}} deployments. You can follow [this link](https://www.thethingsindustries.com/support/) to compare support plans. | ||
If you are already a user of {{% tts %}} and want to scale up, you can choose between **Standard** and **Plus** plans, both of which have different levels of offered support (**Standard**, **Priority**, **Consulting** and **Free**). You can follow [this link](https://www.thethingsindustries.com/support/) to compare support plans. | ||
|
||
{{< note >}} Some deployments (e.g. **{{% tts %}} Dedicated Cloud**) and some support plans (e.g. **Consulting**) are not available for purchase through the platform. Instead, you need to [contact The Things Industries](mailto:[email protected]). {{</ note >}} | ||
On the top of the page, you can switch between monthly and annual billing plan in order to compare the prices for {{% tts %}} plan you're planning to buy. | ||
