Detailed Review
Thinger.io prices the platform as a server you rent rather than as a meter on messages. Each plan names a server size, a device limit and a storage amount, so the monthly bill does not move with the number of data points.
The vendor behind it is Internet of Thinger S.L., and the company GitHub profile lists Madrid, Spain. The pricing page quotes euros and notes ISO 27001 and GDPR alongside a choice of AWS region.
Instance-Based Pricing
Small covers 100 devices on a 2 vCPU, 2 GB server, Medium covers 1,000 devices on 4 GB, and Large covers 2,500 devices on a 4 vCPU, 16 GB server. Data points, dashboards and data buckets are listed as unlimited on all three.
That structure favours projects that send a lot of readings per device, which is where per-message pricing gets expensive.
What Every Plan Includes
Device management, an API explorer, HTTP, WebSocket and MQTT protocols, alarms, webhook, email and SMS endpoints, file storage with OTA updates and OAuth2 clients are in every tier. The tiers differ on plugin counts, device types, tenants and branding.
Multi-tenant customers, white-label brands and custom domains begin at Medium, which is the reseller threshold.
An Agent Layer on Top
The vendor now describes an AI agent that builds dashboards, writes alert rules and registers devices from plain-language requests, working with the permissions you give it. Treat that as an interface to the same platform rather than a separate product.
Limitations to Consider
Plans stop at 2,500 devices on the public pricing page, so larger fleets need a conversation with sales. The platform is delivered from AWS regions, which is a US cloud provider underneath a Spanish contract. Cellular connectivity is not part of it: pair it with an operator such as EMnify. Small has no tenants or white label.
Who Should Use Thinger.io
Hardware makers and integrators who prefer a fixed monthly instance fee over per-message billing and who need MQTT, OTA and customer portals in one place.
