Affordable IoT Platform for Prototypes and Small Deployments: The Datacake Hobby Plan

Not every IoT project needs an enterprise setup from day one.The Datacake Hobby Plan is designed for makers, learners, and small deployments that require a professional IoT platform, without unnecessary complexity or commitment.

Positioned between our Free and Light plans, the Hobby Plan offers a low-threshold, predictable, and transparent way to get started with real IoT monitoring.

Why the Hobby Plan?

As IoT projects evolve, users often outgrow the Free plan but aren’t yet ready for larger subscriptions. At the same time, unclear micro-costs and fragmented limits can make scaling difficult.

The Hobby Plan was created to solve exactly that.

What it delivers:

1. Low barrier to entry
2. Predictable monthly pricing
3. Clear limits and expectations
4. A straightforward upgrade path

No hidden costs. No guesswork. Just a clear foundation for your IoT project.

What’s Included in the Datacake Hobby Plan

€25.00 / month

Designed to support real-world IoT use cases while keeping things simple and focused.

Plan Details:

1. Up to 25 devices
2. 12 months of data retention
3. Dashboard Builder
4. Reporting Engine
5. 5 advanced rules per workspace with no log retention
6. No white-label site included

This ensures you have access to Datacake’s core monitoring, visualization, and automation features — without overextending your setup.

Who Is the Hobby Plan For?

The Hobby Plan is ideal for:

1. Small IoT projects and pilots
2. Prototypes and proof-of-concept deployments
3. Learning and experimentation with real sensor data
4. Side projects and early-stage commercial use cases

It’s built for users who want to move beyond experimentation, but still value flexibility and cost control.

Clear Structure, Clear Growth Path

One of the key advantages of the Hobby Plan is its clarity.

Instead of unclear micro-amounts or feature ambiguity, you get:

1. Defined device limits
2. Transparent feature availability
3. A natural progression to higher plans when needed

When your project grows, upgrading is seamless — no reconfiguration, no disruption.

Start Small. Build Smart. Scale When Ready.

The Datacake Hobby Plan offers a practical, professional entry point into IoT monitoring — combining simplicity, transparency, and powerful core features.

If you’re ready to build real IoT solutions without overcommitting, the Hobby Plan is the right place to start.

 €25/month. Real projects. Real data. Clear next steps.
