Per-unit metered billing option is ideal when pricing variations are tied to the number of units, be it users, items, messages, or licenses.
OveragesWhen users exceed the fixed quantity of units included in their subscription plan, a customer is billed a base fee for their plan plus an overage charge if they cross the specified limit.
Tiered pricingEstablish multiple tiers or slabs to charge customers based on usage quantities per tier during each billing cycle. Introduce add-ons and overage provisions to enhance flexibility.
Volume pricingImplementing volume pricing, akin to tiered models, allows for discounts on increased quantities, providing discounts for bulk purchasers at the end of the metered billing cycle.
Package pricingSegment slabs based on specified package sizes, with defined costs. For example, upto 50MBPS download speed costs $45/month.
CreditsOffer customers predictability by allowing them to make upfront credit purchases. These credits can be utilized for promotions, discounts, and more.
