1 owned team
A free account's auto-created personal team fills this slot. Owning a second team requires a paid plan.
Data Convoy charges a flat $0.30 per TB/month for the bytes it manages in your production bucket—it doesn't mark up your AWS storage. Your buckets, workers, and AWS data-transfer charges remain in your account. That's the product's rate no matter how you choose to pay it: through AWS Marketplace on your existing consolidated AWS bill, or through a direct-pay plan billed separately.
Every account starts free, with no AWS Marketplace subscription required—sign in and go. Limits are enforced server-side and apply to the account that owns a team.

The combined size of the production and archive buckets across your owned teams must stay under 100 GB. This is total managed footprint, not archive volume alone.
Subscribing through AWS Marketplace lifts every free-tier limit: unlimited owned teams, unlimited workers, and no managed-bytes cap, metered at $0.30/TB/month for managed production bytes. The subscription bills through your existing AWS bill alongside your S3 and compute costs—no separate vendor to pay, and the charge rolls up into whatever AWS cost-allocation and procurement process you already run. The product handles Marketplace registration, account linking, and entitlement state, and enforces it automatically—if a subscription lapses, new archive and backup jobs are blocked again until it's restored, without touching data already in place.
Some teams would rather not route another vendor through AWS Marketplace—maybe procurement prefers a direct invoice, maybe you're not an AWS Marketplace customer at all. For those teams, Data Convoy offers a direct-pay plan at the same $0.30/TB/month rate, billed separately outside of AWS. It lifts the same free-tier limits as the Marketplace path—unlimited owned teams, unlimited workers, no managed-bytes cap—so the choice is purely about how you'd rather pay, not what you get. A site admin can also grant a one-off comped override for a specific account on a case-by-case basis outside either paid path.
S3 storage-class charges, retrieval, requests, data transfer, worker compute, and customer-owned log storage remain direct AWS costs. Data Convoy coordinates the workflow; it does not resell or proxy the data plane.
