The standard tier of IoT Hub enables all features, and is required for any IoT solutions that want to make use of the bi-directional communication capabilities. The basic tier enables a subset of the features and is intended for IoT solutions that only need uni-directional communication from devices to the cloud. Both tiers offer the same security and authentication features.

Only one type of [edition](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/iot-hub/) within a tier can be chosen per IoT Hub. For example, you can create an IoT Hub with multiple units of S1, but not with a mix of units from different editions, such as S1 and B3, or S1 and S2.

Traffic is measured on a per-unit basis, not per hub. A level 1 or 2 IoT Hub instance can have as many as 200 units associated with it. A level 3 IoT Hub instance can have up to 10 units. Once you create your IoT hub you can change the number of units or move between the 1, 2, and 3 sizes within a specific tier without interrupting your existing operations. For more information, see [How to upgrade your IoT Hub](iot-hub-upgrade.md).

Traffic is measured for your IoT hub on a per-unit basis. When you create an IoT hub, you choose its tier and edition, and set the number of units available. You can purchase up to 200 units for the B1, B2, S1, or S2 edition, or up to 10 units for the B3 or S3 edition. After your IoT hub is created, you can change the number of units available within its edition, upgrade or downgrade between editions within its tier (B1 to B2), or upgrade from the basic to the standard tier (B1 to S1) without interrupting your existing operations. For more information, see [How to upgrade your IoT hub](iot-hub-upgrade.md).

As an example of each tier's traffic capabilities, device-to-cloud messages follow these sustained throughput guidelines:
| B1, S1 |Up to 1111 KB/minute per unit<br/>(1.5 GB/day/unit) |Average of 278 messages/minute per unit<br/>(400,000 messages/day per unit) |

| B2, S2 |Up to 16 MB/minute per unit<br/>(22.8 GB/day/unit) |Average of 4,167 messages/minute per unit<br/>(6 million messages/day per unit) |

| B3, S3 |Up to 814 MB/minute per unit<br/>(1144.4 GB/day/unit) |Average of 208,333 messages/minute per unit<br/>(300 million messages/day per unit) |
