API endpoint pricing question

Hi all,

We're hoping to build an app to query ArcGis APIs for county codes for a given address in Wisconsin. To accomplish this, we'd have to hit three different API endpoints:

1) The geocode server "suggest" endpoint (/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/suggest)
2) The geocode server "findAddressCandidates" endpoint (/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/findAddressCandidates)
3) The featureserver "query" endpoint (/arcgis/rest/services/WI_Cities_Towns_and_Villages_Fall_2018/FeatureServer/0/query)

However, we can only find pricing info for the "findAddressCandidates" endpoint on the https://location.arcgis.com/pricing/ page. When contacting Esri about the pay-as-you-go pricing for the other two endpoints, they suggested us getting the technical support package for USD2500.

Does anyone know the pricing for the "suggest" and "query" endpoints above? Paying USD2500 just to get answers to a billing question seems a bit steep.

1) The geocode server "suggest" endpoint (/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/suggest) has no associated transaction cost and does not track usage. It does require authentication.

2) The geocode server "findAddressCandidates" endpoint (/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/findAddressCandidates) - this has transaction cost as described on https://location.arcgis.com/pricing/#geocoding and https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/mapping-and-location-services/geocoding/geocode-addresses/ there are different costs for storing the results (stored) vs. rendering them on a map (not-stored). This service does require authentication.

3) The featureserver "query" endpoint (/arcgis/rest/services/WI_Cities_Towns_and_Villages_Fall_2018/FeatureServer/0/query) - this is described here https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/portal-and-data-services/data-services/how-to-work-with-data-services/ and there are storage and bandwidth costs described on the pricing page https://location.arcgis.com/pricing/#data-hosting you must provide authentication when accessing the service.

You do not need a technical support plan to have these questions answered, I am not sure why they said that, but you can call Esri Sales and someone will help answer these types of questions, or you can ask them here.
