Cesium ion provides third-party commercial global imagery assets for your projects, including data from Bing Maps and Google Maps. There are Bing Maps and Google Maps assets for multiple use cases, such as satellite imagery, satellite imagery with labels, labels only, and roadmaps.

Third-party commercial data usage is measured in sessions. If you use a combination of Global Imagery data sources in a quota period, the sessions for all sources are combined to measure your usage for that period.

We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as direct bank transfers from US banks.

To pay via purchase order, contact our sales team.

You can choose whether to get billed monthly or annually when you upgrade to a paid tier.

All Cesium ion plans have no limit to the number of apps and end users for your apps. You can build as many applications as you would like that use the same Cesium ion account for streaming 3D assets. There is also no limit to the number of unique end users that access your apps.

All of the usage generated by your apps and end users just needs to fit into the usage limits of your Cesium ion account.
