Pricing
Free search. Paid infrastructure intelligence.
viabandwidth does not charge to browse the market. You pay at the moment a provider becomes part of your sourcing workflow and you need the evidence behind it.
Always free
The public layer is meant to be useful on its own. It brings buyers in and keeps the data honest.
- Provider and facility search
- Company overviews, public summaries, markets, and proof-level bands
- Service, country, certification, GPU, and reach filters
- High-level facility and network context
- Education, open-science, and public-interest research use
$19 buys the evidence behind one operator
It is not a fee for a public URL. It is the step from open browsing to observed infrastructure evidence you hold in your account: what resolves, how densely, and whose infrastructure it really sits on.
Evidence, not a score
The Snapshot shows what we observed and lets you draw the conclusion. There is no operator rating, no ranking, and no recommendation.
Buy once, re-open forever
Every Snapshot you buy stays in your account library and re-opens at no extra cost.
Your first one is included
New accounts get their first Infrastructure Snapshot free, so you can see the depth before you spend anything.
Open knowledge layer
Education and open science are free.
Public learning should not depend on paying. Profiles include a company overview and the research pages stay open; the paid step begins when a commercial buyer wants the observed evidence behind a specific operator.
- Classroom and student research
- Open-science GPU market mapping
- Public-interest journalism and nonprofit research
- Buyer guides, model explainers, and public market notes
What it costs
Four products. No subscription required.
- How much of the operator's address space actually resolves, and how much of it is live
- Tenant density and hostname clusters — how many distinct customers sit behind it
- Sample hostnames grouped by parent domain, so you can see whose infrastructure it really resolves to
- Idle address space held under a matching company name, labelled as indicative
Offered only on operators we have reverse-DNS evidence for. Where we do not have it, we do not sell it.
Create an account — first Snapshot free- Who owns the company, including the parent chain up to the ultimate owner
- Whether the operator or any parent appears on published sanctions and export-control lists
- Their full reverse-DNS record analysed, and their address space read block by block
- What they claim about themselves, set against what the evidence actually shows
- A written analyst read: what to watch out for, and what to verify before you commit
Researched by hand, not generated. Available on any operator in the directory. If we cannot research a useful brief, we tell you and refund you.
Find an operator to brief- Everything in the Operator Brief, as sections 01 to 08
- The whole corporate group: every company under the same ultimate parent, and their status
- Group-wide screening, not just this company and its parents
- Other names and brands the same organisation trades under
- What they used to claim about themselves, and what quietly changed
- Further address holdings recorded under a similar name, and which are inactive
Upgrade for $60 if you bought an Operator Brief on the same operator in the last 30 days. We check there is a dossier worth writing before charging you.
Find an operator to research- One CIDR block examined address by address, not summarised
- Sub-allocation and delegation map: who holds the pieces of it on paper
- Per-IP resolution census and occupancy map, including where the empty stretches are
- Registered versus delegated versus observed naming, and where the three disagree
- An analyst read on what the block is and what to verify before you commit
Point-in-time analysis. It does not include routing history, origin-change history, hijack detection or first-announcement chronology. The subject is a block, not a company, so you can bring a prefix we have never listed an operator for.

PTR Evidence Pack — Operator
Our observed reverse-DNS records for one operator, as XLSX and CSV with a short PDF summary. Offered only where we hold enough evidence to be worth it.
PTR Evidence Pack — Network Range
The PTR records we observed inside a range you supply. The CIDR is only the query boundary.
Corporate Ownership Map
Legal entity, jurisdiction, status, direct and ultimate parent, and the group where one exists. Short PDF.
Each is checked before you are charged. Observations are partial and prove naming, not legal ownership. Need something different? Ask for custom research.

FAQ
What exactly is the paid unit?
One Infrastructure Snapshot for one operator, $19. It answers whether that operator runs real infrastructure, independently, and at what density — from reverse-DNS evidence we observed ourselves.
Why isn't this in the free profile?
The free profile shows what the registries say: how much address space a company holds. That is not the same as what is running on it, whose infrastructure it resolves to, or how many tenants sit behind it. The Snapshot is the second question.
Why keep search free?
Because hiding the market makes the product feel like a tollbooth. Search, filters and company overviews stay open. You pay when you want the evidence behind one specific operator.
Is it available for every operator?
No. It is offered only where we hold reverse-DNS evidence, and the option simply does not appear on operators where we do not. We would rather show you nothing than sell you an empty result.
Do I pay again to look at one I already bought?
No. Every Snapshot stays in your account library and re-opens at no extra cost, forever.
Is there an API?
API and export access are custom plans, for teams that need this outside the web app. They are not for bulk extraction or reselling.
Your first Infrastructure Snapshot is free.
Browse first, then pay only for the operators worth real outreach.
