What Data-Point Pricing Means and How It Works
Most industrial IoT and SCADA platforms — including Mango by Radix IoT — price based on the number of data points connected to the monitoring platform. A data point is a single measured value from a single device: the output voltage of a particular UPS, the discharge temperature of a specific chiller, the power consumption of one PDU circuit. A facility with comprehensive monitoring will typically have thousands of data points across its equipment.
For buyers evaluating a platform, the key questions are: how does cost behave as the deployment grows, how predictable is the total cost over time, and what does implementation cost? These are the questions the subscription structure is designed to answer clearly.
How the Subscription Model Makes Pricing Transparent and Predictable
Mango by Radix IoT is offered on a subscription basis — meaning there is no upfront license fee, no proprietary hardware purchase required to run the platform, and no separate implementation contract. Implementation services and ongoing support are included as part of the subscription. This structure differs from traditional enterprise software models where organizations pay significant upfront license and implementation costs before seeing any operational value.
The subscription model aligns cost with the value delivered: organizations pay for the monitoring capability as they use it, with predictable recurring costs. For multi-site operations, pricing scales with the portfolio — the more sites managed, the more efficient the per-site cost.
What the Subscription Structure Enables for Multi-Site Deployments
For operations teams managing large, distributed infrastructure, subscription-based pricing with included implementation services changes how monitoring decisions are made. There is no upfront capital commitment required before monitoring can begin. Sites can be brought online incrementally as the deployment expands, and the cost of connecting a new site is predictable from the outset.
Significantly lower TCO is achieved not only through the subscription structure but through the platform’s vendor-agnostic architecture — no proprietary hardware is required. Organizations manage monitoring without taking on hardware procurement costs, vendor-specific maintenance contracts, or upgrade cycles tied to a single monitoring vendor’s hardware roadmap.
Radix IoT Angle
Mango by Radix IoT is priced based on data points or connected devices and offered on a subscription basis — with no upfront capital commitment, no hardware lock-in, and no separate implementation contract. Implementation services and ongoing support are included. For multi-site deployments in data centers, energy operations, telecom infrastructure, and commercial facility portfolios, pricing scales with the portfolio — the more sites you manage, the more efficient the cost per site. Very large individual facilities, such as data centers, are scoped to the size of the facility rather than to site count.
