To access location services, you can use either an ArcGIS Location Platform
An ArcGIS Location Platform subscription provides a free tier of access to the services listed on the pricing page. You also pay for only the service you use with monthly invoicing, and you are able to deploy commercial apps utilizing ArcGIS services. You must enable pay-as-you-go to access the full capabilities of location services.
With an ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise account, you have access to location services defined by the role and permissions of your account.

A basemap session is a time frame during which a single user of a single application can use a session token to access unlimited basemap tiles from the Basemap Styles service.
After a basemap session is created, you use the session token to access styles from the basemap service. A session token is used in a similar way to how access tokens are used to access basemap styles. However, a session token can only access the basemap service it was created from, and it can only access styles that belong to the basemap style family specified when it was created.
During the lifespan of a basemap session, you use the session token to make all requests to the basemap service for styles and tiles. This includes the initial request to load the map and style, requests to change the style in the map, and for all other requests that result from interactions such as panning, zooming, and map exploration. When the basemap session expires, you can create a new basemap session (and session token) to ensure uninterrupted usage.

Yes, your data can be stored as a feature service
Once you store your data in ArcGIS, you can scope an API key to your item
You can create groups in your ArcGIS Location Platform organization
You cannot share data with everyone (public sharing) using your ArcGIS Location Platform account
With ArcGIS Location Platform, all services must be authenticated. The way to share your private data with the public is to use an API key to authenticate the service. For more information, see API key authentication in the Security and authentication guide.
You can view the status of ArcGIS location services on status.location.arcgis.com.
Standard endpoints
Enhanced endpoints
It is recommended to use standard endpoints whenever possible, and then use enhanced endpoints for all additional functionality or for additional security compliance. Go to Service endpoints to learn more.
Geocoding has different associated costs depending on whether or not you store the results. If you discard geocode results immediately after viewing them on the map or using them in your app, they are not considered stored results.
However, if you store the results, for example, persist the data in a database, file, or any other way, these operations are considered stored, as described in the Terms of Use.
See the Pricing page for more details and to estimate costs.
The GeoEnrichment service finds demographic information and other location facts for places around the world.
The service is billed at a rate of $1 per 1,000 total returned attributes.
These attributes are computed by taking the number of requested GeoEnrichment variables (data) and multiplying by the number of areas analyzed (study).
Therefore, the cost is dependent on the total number of returned attributes in the query response.
Yes, Esri offers a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that is described in Service Level Agreement ArcGIS Location Platform.

Estimating the anticipated cost of a feature service is difficult and will depend on several factors:
The storage that is consumed by your ArcGIS account is computed hourly each day of your billing month. The final billing amount is calculated at the end of the last day of your billing month. The storage billing is then reset at the start of the billing month. There are two separate storage calculations: one for feature service data that is stored in a database, and one for all other storage that is stored as tiles, files, and attachments.
Your storage is sampled 24 times per day. Each hourly sample deducts the available free tier of storage allocated to your account. Then a billable amount is determined for that hour. The billable amount is multiplied by the cost of the service for 1 hour considering the number of days in the current month. Each hourly sample is added to provide a total cost for 1 day, and the daily cost is added each day to a monthly total. The storage amount is averaged hourly to accommodate abrupt fluctuations while adding and deleting data so the average provides a smoother picture of the data stored over the span of a day. Separate hourly storage averages are computed for feature service storage and tile, file, and attachment storage.
For example, if you store 500 MB of feature service data for the entire day, the 24 hourly samples should add up to the same cost as 1 day of storage based on the number of days in the current month. For July, this is (500 MB stored - 250 MB free tier) * (0.0044 cost per MB / 31 days in month) = $0.03548. At $0.03548 per day added up over 31 days is $1.10.
The 250MB free tier is applied on a daily basis. If your usage exceeds an average of 250MB on any given day, charges will apply. If your account does not have a valid billing method in place to cover these charges, access to all hosted data services will be suspended until your subscription renews at the end of your monthly billing cycle.
Bandwidth is measured in bytes served from the ArcGIS servers. This will include any bandwidth requested from your application(s), and also any bandwidth used by the developer tools you interact with such as the dashboard, Map Viewer, and other tools. The bandwidth amount depends on the schema of the data, the number of records requested, and the frequency of the requests.
The different types of data bandwidth you are charged for are:
You are not charged bandwidth costs when importing and uploading data to be stored in any of the data services. However, if you choose to create hosted feature or tile services from the data being uploaded you will incur bandwidth or tile generation usage.
There are several ways to reduce bandwidth, including publishing vector tiles, CDN caching, and others. Review the documentation at How to work with data services and the data hosting FAQ.

As part of the June 2024 ArcGIS Online release cycle, Esri has implemented product changes across several products including ArcGIS Location Platform, new ArcGIS Online user types, and the deprecation of the ArcGIS Developer Subscription including Essentials, Builder, Professional, Premium, and Enterprise plans. Even though you were able to access applications such as ArcGIS Experience Builder (Developer edition and ArcGIS Online hosted edition), ArcGIS Survey 123, ArcGIS Dashboards, ArcGIS Instant Apps, ArcGIS StoryMaps, and ArcGIS Field Maps, these were not intended for deployment outside of the ArcGIS Online development and testing organization.
An additional part of this update included active ArcGIS Developer accounts being migrated to the new ArcGIS Location Platform account. An ArcGIS Location Platform account does not include a license to the app builders, or the applications above. Please see what is included with the ArcGIS Location Platform account for more information.
We have made efforts to communicate these changes and their potential impacts to ArcGIS developers through various channels. If you did not receive these communications, we apologize for any inconvenience.
