The first Plus plan that is created includes a 30-day trial at no cost. You must pay for each additional Plus plan (and for use of the first plan after the 30-day trial ends).
If you continue to use a Plus plan service instance after the 30-day trial ends, you are charged for it. To avoid being charged after 30 days, you must delete the Plus plan service instance. {: important}

{: #pricing-docs}
IBM uses the maximum number of documents per day and then prorates the document price to calculate the cost for a month.
For example, imagine that 300,000 documents are added to a collection in the first 6 days (6/30) of the month, and then another 1 million documents are added over a two-day span. In the first day (1/30) of the two-day span, 700,000 documents are added. All of the documents (1 million + 300,000 = 1,300,000) remain in the collection index for the rest of the month (23/30). The number of documents for the month might be calculated by using an equation like this:
300K * (6/30) + 700K * (1/30) + 1300K * (23/30)
Document pricing counts the number of indexed documents in each collection. If you reuse data in a second collection, it generates a second set of documents in the index, which are counted separately.
For more information about what counts as a document, see Document limits.
{: #custom-models}
Custom models include any of the following model types:
- {{site.data.keyword.discoveryshort}} entity extractor
- {{site.data.keyword.knowledgestudioshort}} machine learning
- {{site.data.keyword.knowledgestudioshort}} rule-based
Advanced rules models are not counted as custom models. {: note}
{{site.data.keyword.discoveryshort}} entity extractor models that are trained and published as an enrichment count toward the model limit for the plan. The entity extractor enrichment is what incurs charges, not the workspace or model. The entity extractor enrichment incurs charges whether or not it is applied to a collection.
{: #premiumplan}
Premium plans offer developers and organizations a single tenant instance of one or more Watson services for better isolation and security. These plans offer compute-level isolation on the existing shared platform, as well as end-to-end encrypted data while in transit and at rest.
For more information, or to purchase a Premium plan, contact Sales{: external}.
{: #otherplans}
Features and limitations are similar between instances that you deploy on installed deployments in {{site.data.keyword.icp4dfull_notm}} and Premium plan instances that are managed by {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}}.
