Using credits: Storage
There are three types of storage that consume credits: feature storage, imagery storage, and file storage. Storage is calculated by the size of features, files, tiles, scenes, and vector tiles your organization has stored in ArcGIS Online.
Using credits: Transactions
Transaction-based tools—such as geocoding, geoenrichment, image analysis, and spatial analysis—consume credits, and some of these tools are also available in other products.
Credit usage by product and capability
Below are examples of use cases for storage in ArcGIS Online:
- Centralize your organization's geospatial data and related files for easy access on the web by hosting it in ArcGIS Online.
- Bring data from many sources—including spreadsheets, geospatial files, and images—into ArcGIS Online using its reliable infrastructure, and spatially enable your data for visualization and analysis.
Note: ArcGIS Online also offers fixed-price feature data storage with Premium Feature Data Store.
Storage is calculated by the size of features, files, tiles, scenes, and vector tiles your organization has stored in ArcGIS Online. Storage is calculated on an hourly basis. There are three types of storage that consume credits: feature storage, imagery storage, and file storage.
- Feature storage—Feature storage shows the average amount of space and number of credits your organization is using to store hosted feature data.
- File storage—File storage includes other types of layers and files, such as attachments (in your hosted feature layers).
- Imagery storage—Imagery storage is specific to imagery layers hosted in using ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online.
Learn more about the credits used for storage. Note: Feature layer settings such as Enable Sync can increase storage size over time.
Storage of all content - (Excludes hosted feature layers, hosted imagery layers, and content in an ArcGIS Notebooks workspace)
| 1.2 credits per 1 GB stored per month, calculated hourly |
Below are examples of use cases for analysis in ArcGIS Online:
- Leverage the robust suite of analysis tools in ArcGIS Online to identify patterns, build routes, and enrich your data.
- Perform in-depth analysis to understand your organization's data and generate insight to improve decision-making.
The credit usage of analysis tools is based on your organization's usage of analytics. The status of credit consumption is updated approximately every 10 minutes. Analysis tools include the following:
- Geocoding—This shows the number of address locations that have been matched in the context of hosted feature layers. Unmatched addresses do not count toward your geocode usage.
- Service Areas—This shows the number of service areas such as drive-time areas generated by your organization.
- Closest Facility Routes—This shows the number of routes generated by your organization to find nearby locations.
- Multi-Vehicle Routes—This shows the number of routes generated by your organization to optimally assign stops to different vehicles, find the best stop sequence, and route the vehicles to the stops.
- ArcGIS GeoEnrichment Service —This shows the number of requests and credits your organization has consumed using ArcGIS GeoEnrichment Service reports, data, infographics, or business searches.
- Simple Routes—This shows the number of routes generated by your organization to visit stops in the sequence provided.
- Spatial Analysis—This shows the usage of spatial analysis tasks by users and apps within your organization.
- Location-Allocation—This shows the usage of the location-allocation service performed by your organization. The location-allocation service provides developers and ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Desktop users a group of capabilities for performing analytical operations on data hosted by Esri.
- Optimized Routes—This shows the number of routes generated by your organization to visit stops in an optimal sequence.
Credits Used for Analysis
Geocoding Match addresses when publishing spreadsheets (such as CSV or Excel files) as hosted feature layers using ArcGIS World Geocoding Service or a view of this locator | 40 credits per 1,000 geocodes |
Spatial analysis Aggregate Points and Join Features Note: Join Features does not consume credits if you choose the option to create results as a hosted feature layer view. | 1 credit per 1,000 features (queried for Find Existing Locations and Derive New Locations) |
Imagery analysis Perform imagery analysis using raster analysis tools or raster functions | Credit usage for imagery analysis depends on the number of pixels or features processed, which incorporates the number of bands in multiband imagery and the number of slices in multidimensional data. Custom raster function templates that chain multiple complex functions together may increase credit usage. |
Below are examples of use cases for imagery in ArcGIS Online:
- Create hosted imagery layers from your organization's data to embed in apps and maps.
- Identify patterns in your hosted imagery layers using ArcGIS Online tools or build your own using raster functions.
Note the following:
- Credits for tiled imagery storage are calculated based on the size of the image files stored.
- The total number of images in a dynamic imagery layer is calculated when the layer is published. Click to find the number of images or slices on the layer's item page.
| Tiled imagery storage | 1.2 credits per 1 GB stored per month, calculated hourly |
| Dynamic imagery storage | 1.2 credits per 1 GB stored per month, calculated hourly, based on the total size of the image or images. For the total number of images, the credit costs are as follows:
