Usage Based Billing: Strategic Pricing that Grows Value
Whether you choose pay-as-you-go, set up tiered usage plans, offer volume-based discounts, or implement usage thresholds, our platform takes the complexity out of usage based billing by offering unparalleled billing flexibility to your business.

Usage based billing is fair, flexible, transparent, and future-proof. Customers often churn as a result of underutilized subscriptions that charge flat-fees. With usage based billing you don’t run the risk of losing customers due to subscription fatigue and allow customers to scale effortlessly based on their needs. Â

Pay-as-you-go Pricing
Offer endless convenience to customers with pay-as-you-go pricing. Imagine an automated usage based billing system that effortlessly crunches usage data, calculates precise charges based on unit pricing, and seamlessly generates invoices. Let’s say an electric supply company charges at a rate of 23 cents per kilo-watt hour (kWh) of electricity consumed. A customer who utilizes 800 killo-watt hours will be charged $184 at the end of the month by simply multiplying the price of one unit ($0.23) with the total units consumed (800). It’s simple, transparent and caters seamlessly to fluctuating usage needs.
Tiered Pricing
Offer smooth scalability with tiered usage-based plans with each tier corresponding to a unique unit price point. Usage based billing software tracks when consumption transitions into a higher tier and automatically calculates the precise amount to invoice. Let’s say a cloud storage service offers a tiered plan that costs $0.03/GB up to 100 GB and $0.02/GB above 100 GB. A customer who uses 150 GB is charged at the rate of $0.03/GB for the first 100 GB, and $0.02/GB for the additional 50 GB. The invoice will show this breakdown as 100 * $0.03 + 50 * $0.02 or $4. As usage grows, the per-unit cost decreases, offering savings for higher consumption.
Volume-based Pricing
Implement volume based pricing that defines a range of usage associated with a single price per unit. When the volume of usage grows beyond this range, the per unit price drops. The more your customers use, the better value they get. Consider a project management SaaS that costs $50 per seat within a range of 1-10 users. When the number of users exceeds this volume, the price for a single seat drops to $35. This could incentivize your end consumer to migrate their processes to your system and get a better deal. Unlike tiered pricing that prices units differently as your customer travels up the tiers, volume-based pricing charges the same price for all units which depends on what range your usage falls under.
