APM operates on a pay-as-you-go (postpaid) mode, where resources are applied for on-demand, and you are billed according to your actual usage upon settlement.
Billing Cycle
Charges are calculated on an hourly basis. The total consumption for the previous hour will be calculated and deducted within the next 2 to 4 hours.
Pricing
Fee Calculation
Total cost = Overall reporting volume cost + Cumulative Trace retaining duration cost
Total reporting volume cost = Reporting quantity (in millions) x Unit price of reporting quantity
Total Trace retaining duration cost = Reporting quantity (in millions) x Storage duration (in days) x Unit price of Trace retaining
Billable Items and Free Tier
Note:
APM offers a 15-day trial period for new users with a report limit of 100 million Spans and a storage duration of one day. If the quota is exceeded, you can manually upgrade to the paid version. Different regions have different billing rates. To switch to the paid version, see Purchase Methods. Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai:

Note:
Definitions of the Trace and Span:
Trace: A Trace represents a transaction or process as it is executed in a (distributed) system. In OpenTracing standards, a Trace is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) composed of multiple Spans. Each Span represents a named and timed continuous execution segment within the Trace.
Span: A Span represents a logical execution unit in the system with a start time and duration. The logical causal relationship between Spans is established by nesting or sequential arrangement. All motion traces with the same Trace ID under one account are considered as one request. A request can include up to ten Spans, and each additional Span will be billed based on the request billing. Each Span must not exceed 2 KB, and excess part will be discarded.

Billing Examples
Assume that a user in the Guangzhou region submits 20 million requests (2 billion Spans) daily, with the Trace retaining period being 7 days. The required daily cost is as follows:
Daily cost for reporting volume = (200 million Spans - Free tier) × 0.1 = 2.7807 USD/Day
Daily cost for Trace retaining = (200 million Spans - Free tier) × 0.06 × 7 days = 11.6791 USD/Day (the retaining fee after six consecutive days of reporting)
Total cost = Reporting volume cost + Trace retaining duration cost = 19.9 + 83.58 = 14.4599 USD/Day.
Trace Retaining Fees:
Trace retaining is calculated based on storage volume. Assume that a user reports 20 million requests (200 million Spans) daily and chooses a Trace retaining duration of 7 days, the storage scenario after eight days of reporting is as follows:
The preceding figure shows that after the seventh day, Trace retaining will be accumulated for seven days every day.
