      Billing Overview

      IM is billed on a monthly billing cycle:
      Fees are billed by calendar month. Fees incurred in a calendar month will be deducted within the first 3 days of the next month.
      A package is necessary before you can run Call successfully.The validity period of a package is from the day of purchase to the same day the following month. For example, a package purchased on March 1, 2023 is valid from March 1, 2023 to April 1, 2023.

      Basic Services

      The basic service fee covers two parts: the resource plan fee and resource usage exceeding the quota in a plan fee.
      Resource plan: IM offers the Free, Pro, and Ultimate editions. The edition for a created application defaults to the Free edition (free). You can choose a plan based on your needs. For resource plan comparison, see Comparison of billing plans.
      Fees for out-of-plan resource usage: The fees charged for DAU count and peak group count that exceed the free quota of the Pro or Ultimate edition plan.

      Maximum audio-video groups that can be created: The total number of audio-video groups that can be created by all users under an application (SDKAppID). Audio-video groups support only text, image, short audio, and custom messages. Services such as Cloud Streaming Services and Tencent Real-Time Communication need to be activated separately.
      Maximum net increase in group quantity per day: The net total number of groups (of all types) that can be created by all users under an application (SDKAppID) in a calendar day. Its value is 10,000, and up to 5 online broadcasting chat rooms can be created. If the quantity of groups created reaches the threshold of the day, but you need to create more groups, delete the groups that are no longer needed. For more information, see Groups.
      DAU: The number of unique users that log in to IM on a given day. A user that logs in repeatedly on the same day only counts as one DAU.
      Peak group count: indicates the total number of groups created and joined by all users under an application (SDKAppID). Charges are billed according to the peak value in a calendar month.
      Community: A community allows users to join and leave freely. It is suitable for chat scenarios with a super large number of community members, such as knowledge sharing and game discussion. For more information, see Groups.
