Plans & Billing
Every Admiral plan runs the full fleet platform. Telemetry is an add-on that an organisation switches on from Billing, security and compliance controls come with an Enterprise account, and AirDetect is enabled per fleet and billed on usage.
How Pricing Works
Admiral is billed per device, per month, on a graduated scale: the first 5 devices on every account are free, and the per-device rate falls as the fleet grows. Current prices are on the pricing page. Telemetry and AirDetect are billed on top as add-ons and usage.
An Enterprise account adds the security and compliance controls listed below, and can have custom pricing and invoicing terms. Contact sales.
The Billing Page
Open Billing (https://app.admrl.co/billing) from the sidebar. It has five tabs:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Overview | Progress through the current billing period (or trial) and the estimated next bill. |
| Plan & add-ons | Your per-device pricing, and the add-ons switched on for the organisation. |
| Usage | Usage for the period, broken down into devices, the Telemetry add-on, AirDetect, and other usage. |
| Invoices | Past invoices with amount and status. |
| Payment & details | Payment methods, legal entity name, tax ID / ABN, and billing address. |

Turning an Add-on On or Off
- Open Billing (
https://app.admrl.co/billing). - In Add-ons, switch on Telemetry.
Only organisation billing admins can change add-ons. Other members see what is enabled, and locked features in the dashboard ask them to contact a billing admin. Add-ons apply to the whole organisation. Billing must be set up for the organisation before an add-on can be enabled.
Signature policies, USB policies and the audit log are not self-serve: they come with an Enterprise account, which Admiral sets up. Contact sales to upgrade.
When a Feature Is Not Enabled
The dashboard shows the feature as locked, with what the add-on includes and a link to Billing (or Contact sales for Enterprise). Everything that is included keeps working.
| Feature | Without it |
|---|---|
| Telemetry | Charts, metric queries and log searches reach back 24 hours; longer ranges are locked. Log search covers one device at a time. New alert rules cannot be created or edited, and existing rules stop being evaluated until the add-on is on again (they are kept, and can still be deleted). Alerts are not delivered to webhooks; platform alerts still notify in the app. API tokens and service accounts cannot query telemetry. |
| Signature policy (Enterprise) | Signature policies cannot be viewed or set, and devices do not enforce one. Saved policies are kept and apply again when the account is Enterprise. |
| USB policy (Enterprise) | USB policies cannot be viewed or set, and devices run with no USB policy. The list of attached USB devices is still shown. Saved policies are kept and apply again when the account is Enterprise. |
| Audit log | The audit log is not available. Actions are still recorded. |
| AirDetect | The fleet's AirDetect pages offer Enable AirDetect. |
Turning an add-on on or off, or a change of Enterprise status, takes effect within about a minute. Devices receive the new signature or USB policy on their next update from the platform.

"self_serve": true,
"free_window_hours": 24,
"upgrade_url": "/billing?feature=telemetry",
"message": "History beyond the last 24 hours requires the Telemetry add-on."
}
}
