description: >-
  Sentinel Hub pricing is based on Processing Units (PUs). One PU equals a request for a
  512x512 pixel output image using 3 input bands in 8/16-bit format. Subscriptions grant a
  monthly allocation of PUs and HTTP requests that do not roll over. Batch Processing API
  costs 1/3 of equivalent Process API PUs; Async Processing API costs 2/3 for areas >=10,000
  pixels. Pricing is managed through Planet (which acquired Sinergise) and requires contacting
  sales for current tier details.
notes: >-
  Sentinel Hub was acquired by Planet in 2022. Pricing tiers are now managed under the Planet
  Insights Platform. Contact sales@planet.com or check planet.com/pricing for current
  subscription packages. CREODIAS and Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem offer additional access
  routes with their own pricing.
