Subscription

Every organization in the Dataloop platform has at least one active subscription. A subscription is made of:

  • A collection of quotas for different usage metrics.
  • A payment method attached to it.
  • Settings, such as period (monthly or annual), auto-renewal, and others.
  • The price of the respective period.

The subscription page provides an easy and convenient way to review all subscription-related information and actions in a single place.

  • Your plan: The plan currently linked to your account (for example, Free edition or other), and your next renewal date.
  • Plan details: Click to view the features included with your plan.
  • Features & Services: Lists the quotas in your subscription for the various metrics and the usage count for each one of them.
  • The usage information provided corresponds to the respective subscription period, and the remaining usage is what is available until your next renewal date.
  • Subscription consumption counting started on January 5th 2023, which may reflect different numbers vs. the Usage page

Invoices History - an invoice is generated on every subscription renewal event. Invoices are emailed to the address on file, recent invoices are listed on this page and can be downloaded.

Usage Metrics

Subscription uses the following usage metrics:

  • Annotation tool hours: The number of hours using the various annotation tools/studios as well as respective assignment/task browsers, as these are used for bulk annotation tasks.
  • Data points: Number of file items and annotations created.
    • Every file is 1 data point
    • Every annotation is 1 data point
    • In frames based files, such as video and LiDAR, every annotation on a keyframe, and every changed annotation in an interpolated frame are counted as data points.
      • A key-frame is a frame where manual annotation creation or editing was done.
      • An interpolated frame is a frame somewhere between 2 keyframes, in which an annotation was changed by an algorithm or a model.
    • Annotations in an interpolated frame, that has no change vs. the last keyframe, are not counted as data-points.
    • Deleted annotations are not counted as data points
    • Annotations hidden in the annotation-studio still exist in the system and therefore counted as data points.
  • API Calls: Number of API calls made through SDK and API interfaces. It does not include API calls for uploading items to a dataset.
  • Hosted storage: Total size of file items hosted on the Dataloop storage. This is not consumed when synching external cloud storage from S3, GCS, Azure, and others.
  • Compute Hours (By type): The number of hours used by compute resources of the specified type from the Dataloop catalog. For example, Regular-XS.
  • Compute hours (system functions): A few functions of Dataloop require using dedicated compute resources. Initial operation is consumed from this quota.

Usage Counted to Your Subscription

Your organization's usage is taken from all projects billed to your account. By default, projects created by organization members are owned and billed to it. Also, you can set a project for billing from one organization while another remains its owner.

Usage data is collected from all respective projects, aggregated and deducted from the subscription accordingly.

Account Information

The organization's business information, as provided when creating the subscription, can be reviewed and changed as needed. The payment method that's on file is listed for review as well.

  • To add a payment method: Click Add in the Business Details & Payment Method section and enter required details.
  • To edit the business details: Click Manage in the Business Details section and edit the information.

The usage information gives you an in-depth analysis of your organization’s use of the Dataloop services. You can access it from the organization-related menu section on the left-side menu.

The usage information is counted and presented only for projects that are billed to your organization’s account. The projects that are not billed in your organization are not presented or accounted for.

The information on this page is displayed every month with the current month as the default. Use the month-selection option to review consumptions in past months.
You can download the data available on this page as a CSV file to use it with your system or perform further analysis.

You can copy the account ID by clicking on the Copy to clipboard icon.

Usage

The usage tab on the account page summarizes usage metrics and information:

  • Max Datapoints: Provides the total number of datapoints, such as Items, Annotations, and Keyframes.
  • Max Managed Items: The maximum amount of items currently managed on the Dataloop system, across all projects and storage types (internal/external).
  • UI Hours: Total annotation studio time used by all users.
  • Max Annotations: The maximum number of annotations currently in the organization's projects.
  • Storage: The storage space used by all projects combined.
  • GPU: Hours of GPU used by Applications (FaaS) / services.
  • CPU: Hours of CPU used by Applications (FaaS) / services.
  • API Calls: The number of API requests to the server in your projects.

API Usage Download

Click the Download icon next to this metric to download a JSON file of these APIs. While the downloaded JSON file, details all API call types in the project. The relevant usage for billing purposes in the 'Total' field of:

  • UI: API calls triggered from the UI, such as querying a dataset.
  • SDK: API calls triggered due to the work through the SDK.
  • Other: API calls made directly, not through SDK or UI.

Creating items in your project in any way (upload or sync from an external storage) does NOT consume API calls, as these calls are excluded from such counting and provided free of charge.
