RMS credits are purchased once with no ongoing subscription fee. The cost per credit decreases with volume – larger bundles are significantly cheaper per device. Current pricing is available from authorised Teltonika resellers. The figures below are indicative of typical pricing tiers; confirm current rates with your reseller.
The RMS credit model is particularly cost-effective for deployments with long device lifetimes. Unlike a subscription model (where you pay recurring fees for the life of the deployment), a credit is a one-time cost regardless of how long the device remains in the field.
| Deployment size | Credit cost (approx) | Annual subscription equivalent | Break-even |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 devices | ~£30-50 | ~£60-120/year | <1 year |
| 50 devices | ~£100-150 | ~£300-600/year | <6 months |
| 200 devices | ~£200-400 | ~£1,200-2,400/year | <3 months |
| 1,000 devices | ~£500-1,000 | ~£6,000-12,000/year | <1 month |
The one-off credit model is specifically designed for IoT and industrial deployments where devices stay in the field for years. A Teltonika router deployed in a smart building BMS installation or on a fleet vehicle might remain operational for 7-10 years. Under a subscription model, you would pay recurring fees for the entire lifetime. Under the RMS credit model, you pay once.
The break-even against a hypothetical subscription is typically under 12 months at small scale and under 3 months at volume. For any deployment lasting more than a year, credits are almost always the lower total cost option.
