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.

Learn how to create and manage a basemap session in Mapping and location services > basemap session model .

ArcGIS Location Platform offers two different basemap usage modelsA basemap usage model is a programming pattern for an application that determines the type of basemap consumption and the associated costs of accessing a basemap service. There are two models: the tile usage model and the session usage model.Learn more: tile usage model and session usage model. The type of basemap usage model you choose depends on many factors such as the number of users that will use the application, the type of mapping interactivity it supports, and the total number of tiles that it will consume.

General recommendations

• Tile usage model: Use to build focused mapping applications where tile consumption is relatively low.
• Session usage model: Use to build interactive mapping applications where tile consumption is high.

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 (dataCollections) and multiplying by the number of areas analyzed (studyAreas). Therefore, the cost is dependent on the total number of returned attributes in the query response.

Estimating the anticipated cost of a feature service is difficult and will depend on several factors:

1. The schema. The amount of data stored per record will depend on your schema and the complexity of the data you expect to store. ArcGIS also adds a small amount of overhead per record.
2. The number of records. Multiply the expected number of records by the size of a single record to determine the overall storage size.
3. Feature attachments. Attachment files are stored separately and are counted as attachment storage, but a small amount of overhead is attributed in the feature service schema.
4. Publish as tiles. You can publish your feature service as vector tiles or map tiles, and doing so will affect your overall storage footprint and the access bandwidth when your applications access your data.
5. Bandwidth for query. Estimating the expected bandwidth consumption will depend on the type of data accessed (feature service query vs. published tiles), your application design, and the expected number of users.
6. Bandwidth for edit. Feature service edits are typically much less frequent and much smaller than queries. The cost will depend on your application design and the expected number of users.

Storage

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

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:

• Feature service queries
• Feature service edits
• Vector tiles
• Map tiles

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.

What are my options?

• If the services and capabilities that are included in ArcGIS Location Platform do not meet your needs, you must now obtain an ArcGIS Online subscription with user types that align with your organization's needs and migrate your content to the new ArcGIS Online subscriptions. To access ArcGIS Pro, consider purchasing a Creator or higher-level user type.
• If you need access to ArcGIS Enterprise for development and testing purposes, you could also consider the ArcGIS Developer Bundle if it makes sense for your organization.

How can I continue to access and leverage my content that was created and accessed through my ArcGIS Developer account?

• You are required to transfer your content to either an ArcGIS Online organization or an ArcGIS Enterprise organization. Follow the steps in the Copy/clone content from one ArcGIS Online organization or Portal for ArcGIS to another Esri Support article.
• You can also consider leveraging ArcGIS Assistant. Learn more and access the assistant. ArcGIS Assistant is a community-driven project and is not officially supported by Esri Technical Support. Please refer to the FAQ for more information.
