GGolioth
Consumption-priced device cloud for microcontrollers — no tiers, no seats, you pay for connections and bytes.

- Type
- MCU cloud
- How it works
- One consumption meter instead of plans: $0.25 per connected device per month, $0.0095 per megabyte of OTA traffic, and separate rates for logs and streaming data. Every account gets the same features, which makes small fleets cheap and makes cost forecasting arithmetic rather than negotiation.
