    Pricing

    The price for content moderation varies with moderation types and methods, as shown below:
    Auto-moderation means that users pre-configure the content moderation function. After users upload data to a bucket, we will automatically moderate the data.
    Historical data moderation refers to the moderation of the existing historical data of users. Upon creating a historical data moderation task by users, the backend will initiate a batch moderation of the specified data. Historical data moderation will automatically schedule the moderation situation of the backend, the moderation resource of which will give priority to automatic moderation service. As it mainly uses spare backend resources for historical data moderation, the pricing is comparatively lower than auto-moderation.
