Robot pricing
Each Robot operation contributes to your usage. Here’s what to know about how we calculate it.
- Usage is calculated based on file sizes, and counts toward your monthly GB limit.
- For file processing operations, both input and output sizes are counted. For example, processing a 500 MB video into a 100 MB file counts as 600 MB.
- Many Robots offer discounted rates. For example, importing files from S3 only counts as 10% of the file size, and filtering costs just 1%.
- A few Robots have a small minimum charge per operation (0.5–2 MB) due to the computational effort involved, even for small files. You can find the details below.

All Robots
What does "Bytes counted" mean? If a Robot counts 10% of bytes, a 10 MB
processing cost will count as 1 MB toward your monthly limit.
