Amadeus bills per-transaction in the Production environment after a monthly free quota; rates vary by API. The billing surface is per-application, with usage and invoices visible in the Self-Service developer console. Enterprise customers are invoiced through separate Amadeus Enterprise contracts. NOTE: Self-Service portal scheduled for decommissioning 17 July 2026; Enterprise billing surface unaffected. sources: - https://developers.amadeus.com/pricing - https://developers.amadeus.com/self-service/apis-docs/guides/developer-guides/pricing/ - https://developers.amadeus.com/my-apps - https://focus.finops.org/ focusMapping: ProviderName: Amadeus IT Group PublisherName: Amadeus IT Group InvoiceIssuerName: Amadeus IT Group ChargeCategory: Usage ChargeClass: Standard BillingAccount: Self-Service application (clientId) SubAccount: Self-Service application (per-app) Region: global PricingUnit: transaction PricingCategory: Usage-Based CommitmentDiscountType: None CommitmentDiscountCategory: None PricingCurrency: USD BillingPeriodStart: first day of calendar month BillingPeriodEnd: last day of calendar month ChargePeriodStart: per-transaction timestamp ChargePeriodEnd: per-transaction timestamp services: - serviceCategory: Travel APIs serviceSubCategory: Flight Search and Booking productName: Amadeus Self-Service Flights skuExamples: - flight-offers-search-transaction - flight-offers-price-transaction - flight-create-orders-transaction - flight-order-management-transaction - flight-availabilities-search-transaction - seatmap-display-transaction - branded-fares-upsell-transaction - flight-checkin-links-transaction - on-demand-flight-status-transaction - serviceCategory: Travel APIs serviceSubCategory: Flight Discovery and Pricing Insights productName: Amadeus Self-Service Flight Insights skuExamples: - flight-inspiration-search-transaction - flight-cheapest-date-search-transaction - flight-price-analysis-transaction - flight-choice-prediction-transaction - flight-delay-prediction-transaction - serviceCategory: Travel APIs serviceSubCategory: Airport and Airline Reference Data productName: Amadeus Self-Service Reference Data skuExamples: - airport-on-time-performance-transaction - airport-routes-transaction - airline-routes-transaction - airport-nearest-relevant-transaction - airport-city-search-transaction - city-search-transaction - airline-code-lookup-transaction - serviceCategory: Travel APIs serviceSubCategory: Market Insights productName: Amadeus Self-Service Market Insights skuExamples: - flight-most-booked-destinations-transaction - flight-most-traveled-destinations-transaction - flight-busiest-traveling-period-transaction - serviceCategory: Travel APIs serviceSubCategory: Hotel Search and Booking productName: Amadeus Self-Service Hotels skuExamples: - hotel-list-transaction - hotel-search-transaction - hotel-booking-transaction - hotel-name-autocomplete-transaction - hotel-ratings-transaction - serviceCategory: Travel APIs serviceSubCategory: Destination Experiences productName: Amadeus Self-Service Destination Content skuExamples: - points-of-interest-transaction - tours-and-activities-transaction - safe-place-transaction - location-score-transaction - travel-recommendations-transaction - serviceCategory: Travel APIs serviceSubCategory: Cars and Transfers productName: Amadeus Self-Service Transfers skuExamples: - transfer-search-transaction - transfer-book-transaction - transfer-management-transaction - serviceCategory: Travel APIs serviceSubCategory: Itinerary Management and AI productName: Amadeus Self-Service AI Predictions skuExamples: - trip-purpose-prediction-transaction - serviceCategory: Authentication serviceSubCategory: OAuth2 productName: Amadeus Authorization skuExamples: - oauth2-client-credentials-token-issuance discounts: - name: Monthly Free Tier type: free-tier description: >- Each application receives a monthly free transaction quota per API that carries forward from Test into Production.

Registration for new applications has been paused; existing API keys will be disabled on the cutover date. Customers requiring continued access must migrate to Amadeus Enterprise. Plan budget transitions and contract negotiations accordingly.
