- The price per applicable month is calculated based on the number of Monthly Active Principals. The total price is calculated for each applicable tier. Example: If Customer uses Cerbos Hub for 1,000 Monthly Active Principals, the price for that month will be calculated as $25 + (400 * $0.22) + (500* $0.20) = $213.00 USD per month
$$ $ 25 + (400 ^ {} $0.22) + (500 ^ {} $0.20) = $213.00 $$
"Monthly Active Principals" means the Principal that makes at least one transaction in the applicable month that is tracked in Cerbos Hub.
“Principal” means a user or service whose permissions are being checked. For most applications, the terms "user" and "principal" are interchangeable because the application is only ever used by humans. However, Cerbos can also authorize access for other applications, services, bots or anything you can think of. All those will also count as Monthly Active Principals alongside users.
