Limits and Pricing for Speed Insights

Speed Insights is available on the Hobby, Pro, and Enterprise plans.

On the Hobby plan, Speed Insights is free and can be enabled on one project with a set allotment of data points.

On the Pro plan, the base fee for Speed Insights is $10 per-project, per-month. If you are using Speed Insights on a 14-day trial Pro plan you will not be charged for any of the above items during the time of the trial. However, once the trial ends, you will be charged for both the data points collected during the trial, and the base fee.

The following table outlines the price for each resource according to the plan you are on.

Pro teams can set up Spend Management to get notified or to automatically take action, such as using a webhook or pausing your projects when your usage hits a set spend amount.

Once you've enabled Speed Insights, different limitations are applied depending on your plan:

Once the maximum limit of data points is reached, no more data points will be recorded until the current day has passed. On the next day, the recording will resume. When recording is paused, you can still access all existing data points.

You can reduce the number of data points collected by adjusting the Sample Rate at the project level by using the @vercel/speed-insights. To learn more, see Sample Rate.

By default, all incoming data points are used to calculate the scores you're being presented with on the Speed Insights view.

To reduce cost, you can change the sample rate at a project level by using the @vercel/speed-insights package as explained in Sample rate. To learn more about how to configure the sampleRate option, see the Sending a sample of events to Speed Insights recipe.

Teams on Pro and Enterprise, can set a cost limit to ensure no more data points are collected for the rest of the billing period once the limit has been reached. To do so:

1. Go to the Vercel dashboard and ensure your team is selected in the scope selector.
2. Select the Settings tab.
3. From the left nav, select Billing and scroll to the Speed Insights Cost Limit section.
4. Set the Cost Limit and select Save.

Teams on the Pro or Enterprise plan will immediately be charged the base fee when enabling Speed Insights for each project. However, you will only be charged for the remaining time in your billing cycle. For example:

• If there ten days are remaining in your current billing cycle — that's roughly 30% of your billing cycle – you will only pay around 3 USD for each project that has Speed Insights enabled. For every new billing cycle after that, you'll be charged a total 10 USD for each project at the beginning of the cycle.
• If you disable Speed Insights before the billing cycle ends Vercel will continue to show the already collected data points until the end of that specific billing cycle. However, no new data will be recorded.
• Once the billing cycle is over, Speed Insights will automatically turn off, and you will lose access to existing data. You won't be refunded any amounts already paid. Also, you cannot export the Speed Insights data for later use
• If you decide to re-enable the feature after cancellation, you won't be charged when you enable it. Instead, the usual 10 USD base fee will apply at the beginning of every upcoming billing cycle
