Implement metered pricing structures
Metered billing offers unmatched flexibility and agility, allowing you to monetize resource utilization effectively through a range of pricing models tailored to your specific offerings.
Per-unit pricing
Per-unit metered billing option is ideal when pricing variations are tied to the number of units, be it users, items, messages, or licenses.
Overages
When 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 pricing
Establish 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 pricing
Implementing 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 pricing
Segment slabs based on specified package sizes, with defined costs. For example, up to 50MBPS download speed costs $45/month.
Credits
Offer customers predictability by allowing them to make upfront credit purchases. These credits can be utilized for promotions, discounts, and more.
