# Core: calculator

Data version 6d29e2f86993, built 2026-10-26; facts on this page checked 2026-10-20 to 2026-10-23.

Each cell is the cheapest Core plan a month at 15 Mbps and the data it carries a month (data is counted once per destination), from the Core plan catalogue's prices. Follow a cell for every plan's total, data buckets and servers.

## Which platform applies

- [Core](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/services/svc.core.md) (this calculator). Owner, 2026-10-22: Core (aka Core 3.0) is live and onboarding new customers; built entirely on the shared Core API; supports the Prism family only, Jetpack included. Guide articles from 2022 whose URLs say 'core-3-0' describe the egress-hour plans of Core Classic, not this platform.
- [Core Classic (no new features; end of life in April 2028)](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/services/svc.core-classic.md): its calculator is [/services/svc.core-classic/calculator.md](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/services/svc.core-classic/calculator.md). Owner, 2026-10-24: end of life in April 2028; the day is not given, so no end-of-life date is recorded. New customers are onboarded to Core (svc.core); Core Classic stays for existing customers until then.
