You have two options for subscribing to File Security:
  • Credit pricing. You can purchase credits for either files scanned, or if you are using File Security Storage, per bucket or files scanned.
  • Pay-as -you-go pricing. You can subscribe to Trend Vision One File Security and only pay for what you deploy and use. You are billed based on your usage of the File Security services, reported on an hourly basis. You sign up for pay-as-you-go billing on the AWS Marketplace.
The table below compares the pricing for File Security's features for both credit and pay-as-you-go pricing.

Credit vs pay-as-you-go pricing

Feature
Credit pricing
Pay-as-you-go pricing
File Security SDK
5000 credits per 500,000 scans
$0.013 per scan
File Security Virtual Appliance
5000 credits per 500,000 scans
$0.013 per scan
File Security Storage (scans)
5000 credits per 500,000 scans
$0.013 per scan
File Security Storage (buckets)
9,636 credits per bucket
(unlimited scans for the bucket)
$1.155 per bucket per hour
(unlimited scans for the bucket while it is protected)
Note that this equals 89 scans per hour. If you are scanning less than 89 per scans in the bucket per hour, you may want to use per scan pay-as-you-go rather than per bucket.

Switching between pricing models

    You can change the billing model of each feature once every 30 days. Once you change the billing model of a feature, you must wait 30 days to change the billing model back.

Notes on pay-as-you-go pricing

  • SDK and Storage can be configured separately for using credit or pay-as-you-go.
  • The number of scans made are updated every hour.
  • If you are using pay-as-you-go for buckets, you are charged each hour that the bucket is protected, even if no scans are made.
