The additional pricing option for ArcGIS Location Platform is especially valuable for high-traffic applications or those with extended user sessions, such as real estate search portals, rideshare apps, or delivery tracking systems. By aligning pricing with actual user interactions-such as panning, zooming, and searching-developers can better forecast costs.

"Organizations struggle with unpredictable map-related costs, which make it difficult to build sustainable business models," said David Cardella, group product manager at Esri. "With the introduction of session-based pricing, we're giving our customers the power to choose the model that best supports their goals-whether that's reducing costs, improving predictability, or scaling confidently."

The new pricing model is available to both new and existing users of ArcGIS Location Platform. It is designed to meet the needs of developers, CTOs, and product leads across a wide range of industries, including real estate, financial services, health care, e-commerce and retail, media, logistics, and more. It enables organizations to easily integrate data-powered maps into the systems they use and that customers rely on.
