Understanding account plans and limits

InfraBeacon includes a free allowance for core monitoring, with pay-as-you-go pricing available when you need more capacity. There are no fixed monthly plan tiers: you can start free, then add prepaid credit only when your usage grows beyond the free service.

Free service

Your account includes 2 uptime monitors, 1 server monitor and 1 screenshot monitor at no cost. Free monitoring uses the standard free-service limits, including longer check intervals and shorter screenshot retention.

Pay-as-you-go usage

If you add prepaid credit or enable auto top-up, your account can use higher paid limits. Usage above the free allowance is charged daily for active resources only:

  • Uptime monitors: £0.01 per day each, then £0.005 per day each after 50 paid monitors.
  • Server monitors: £0.03 per day each, then £0.02 per day each after 20 paid monitors.
  • Screenshot monitors: £0.05 per day each, then £0.03 per day each after 10 paid monitors.

Check intervals and limits

Free accounts can monitor at standard free intervals. Accounts with available credit or auto top-up can use faster checks, higher monitor limits and longer screenshot retention where supported.

Managing billing

You can view current usage, estimated daily cost, available balance, top-up options and auto top-up settings from your account billing page. If your paid balance runs out, monitoring beyond the free allowance may be paused until you add credit.
