as I understood topic: machine-to-machine-token-pricing/26710 I would have to create for every api consumer a specific m2m web app so i can share the client id and secret. That means i have to create 3000 m2m apps.
I have (in this case) 1 api, and 3000 api consumers.
The dashboard for is in the applications would then practically not bring any value, as we now have 5 apps. Is there a way i can group them in logical assets or something?
Furthermore: i thought that azure api manager (not gateway) is having like 1 m2m and use a header to distingush the user. Like X-api-key (thst could be generated in our db).
All of our api users have the same role/permissions. Would that make more sense?
Then, next one: is there a limit on m2m applications on the free plan? I also see a limit on a single m2m app of a 1000 tokens per month.
That makes it more interesting: if no limit on m2m applications i can stick to free plan, because they only use about 100 tokens per month per api-consumer. But if i could do it with one m2m, i go over the limit of the free plan, but if it makes more sense, willing to pay.
As mentioned in your entity limit documentation, the limit of applications for a paying member would be 100.
As you have mentioned, it would be more practical to generate different tokens for a single application if the user’s share the same permissions/attributes.
Finally, for Enterprise members, there can be custom rates which the parties can agree upon .
If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know!
@nik.baleca I have read the documentation, as well as the “basic” information on the pricing page. I am struggling with the pricing of a lazy migration (which needs a custom DB).
In my new case; i need just 2 applications, 2 api and universal login. (this can be part of the free plan). But for lazy migration (move of username + password to auth0 db) i need a custom db. If i work in one of my tenants, i can only see that it is not in the free plan. With 10k MAU i was wondering if i can move to the Essentials price plan, but i cannot find lazy migration or the use of custom db.
al though the professional does state about: “Use your existing User Database for Logins”, which is not perse is what i want to use, but might be reflecting the use of custom validation in our own database, and therefore enabling the lazy migration.
after migration, would i also be able to move to free plan again?
Yes, the feature of "Use your existing User Database for Logins” under Professional would be what you are looking for. That enabled the option to create a database connection on Auth0 using a “custom database” (referring to your own database) where you can implement the scripts to accomplish the lazy migration.
If you wish to discontinue the plan after completing the lazy migration, make sure to disable all the scripts before doing so and you can manage the subscription yourself.
You can always select the “Talk to Sales” button on the page to get more information from their side as well.
