Supported pricing models
Flat-rate pricing
A fixed amount charged per billing period.
- Example: $49/month for Pro Plan
- Best for: Simple subscriptions with predictable value
Tiered pricing
Price changes based on quantity tiers. Each tier has its own rate.
- Example: $10/user for first 10, $8/user for 11-50
- Best for: Per-seat licensing, graduated discounts
Volume pricing
Single rate applies to all units based on total quantity.
- Example: 1-10 users = $10/user, 11+ users = $8/user (all users)
- Best for: Bulk discounts where all units get the same rate
Usage-based pricing
Charges based on actual consumption, calculated at billing time.
- Example: $0.01 per API call
- Best for: Pay-as-you-go models, metered billing
Choosing a model
| Model | Predictable revenue? | Customer flexibility? |
|---|---|---|
| Flat-rate | ✓ High | Low |
| Tiered | Medium | Medium |
| Volume | Medium | Medium |
| Usage-based | Low | ✓ High |
Hybrid approaches
You can combine models on a single subscription:
- Base fee (flat-rate) + overage charges (usage-based)
- Per-seat licensing (tiered) + add-on features (flat-rate)
