# Elastic for Observability billing dimensions [observability-billing]

{{obs-serverless}} projects provide you with all the capabilities of Elastic Observability to monitor critical applications. Projects are provided using a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, and pricing is entirely consumption-based.
{{obs-serverless}} projects provide you with all the capabilities of Elastic Observability to monitor critical applications.

Data volumes for ingest and retention are based on the fully enriched normalized data size at the end of the ingest pipeline, before {{es}} compression is performed, and will be higher than the volumes traditionally reported by {{es}} index size. In addition, these volumes might be larger than those reported by cloud provider proxy logs for data going into {{es}}. This allows you to have flexibility in choosing your preferred ingest architecture for enrichment, whether it’s through Elastic Agent, Logstash, OpenTelemetry, or collectors — with no impact on the cost.

Refer to [Serverless billing dimensions](serverless-project-billing-dimensions.md) and the [{{ecloud}} pricing table](https://cloud.elastic.co/cloud-pricing-table?productType=serverless&project=observability) for more details about {{obs-serverless}} billing dimensions and rates.

## Synthetics [synthetics-billing]

[Synthetic monitoring](/solutions/observability/synthetics/index.md) is an optional add-on to Observability Serverless projects that allows you to periodically check the status of your services and applications. In addition to the core ingest and retention dimensions, there is a charge to execute synthetic monitors on our testing infrastructure. Browser (journey) based tests are charged per-test-run, and ping (lightweight) tests have an all-you-can-use model per location used.

wonder if this would be clearer if we put the tiers up above, like

but won't make you refactor for my sake

## Elastic Managed LLM

The default [Elastic Managed LLM](kibana://reference/connectors-kibana/elastic-managed-llm.md) enables you to leverage AI-powered search as a service without deploying a model in your serverless project. It's configured by default to use with the Security AI Assistant, Attack Discovery, and other applicable AI features as a part of your "Complete" tier subscription. Using the default LLM will use tokens and incur related token-based add-on billing for your serverless project.
