If you are self hosting subscriptions are typically based on the number of nodes in you cluster and not load related metrics. If you use Elastic cloud where hosting is included that would s naturally different.

Hi Christian,

I read de document webpage and says "resource-based pricing philosophy"([https://www.elastic.co/pricing/philosophy](https://www.elastic.co/pricing/philosophy))

And not say about the cost of nodes. that confusme respect subscriptions.

Elastic Cloud pricing is available online. If you wish to self host you should contact Elastic sales.

So, if self host or on premisse, you refer nodes about elasticsearch instances, kibana instances, logstash instances, not about angets?

I believe it is based on Elasticsearch nodes only if you self host. Logstash and Kibana nodes as far as I know do not count. Pricing for a not based on user count, amount of ingest, query volume or data volume held in cluster.
