**5. Streaming Fees**

- Stream High-Quality Imagery, Pay Only for What You Use

Our **Stream Imagery** feature offers seamless access to high-resolution satellite and basemap imagery through the TMS (Tile Map Service) protocol. Pricing is usage-based—you're only charged for the image tiles you stream, giving you full control over your credit consumption.

We partner with leading providers like **Airbus** and **Maxar** to bring you premium imagery options. Costs vary by provider and image type (e.g., detailed imagery vs. general basemaps), ensuring flexibility for different use cases—from analytics to visualization.

The ArcGIS **World Imagery** is available **completely free of charge** to all users.

**Imagery Streaming Costs**

| Provider | Imagery Type | Cost per Tile (credits) | Tiles per 1 Credit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Airbus | Basemap | 0.00165 | ~606 |
| Airbus | Image | 0.0437 | ~23 |
| Maxar | Basemap | 0.01283 | ~78 |
| Maxar | Image | 0.04132 | ~24 |

**Why it matters:**

- Only pay for what you actually stream.
- High-resolution imagery when and where you need it.
- Transparent, predictable credit-based pricing.
