Estimate data usage
Streaming, backups, hotspots and cloud sync can consume a data cap quickly. Enter data used per hour, hours per day and number of days to estimate total usage, average daily usage and terabytes. It is useful for mobile hotspot planning, streaming budgets, travel internet and cloud work.
Plan around data caps
Use the data-per-hour value from your app, device or service when available. Streaming quality can change the real number dramatically.
