3

Premium monitoring nodes: accessing additional geographic locations or specialized node types (mobile, ISP-specific) may require point premium or additional costs

4

8

Real User Monitoring (RUM) add-on: RUM features on Expert tier may have additional per-pageview or per-session costs beyond base points allocation
