Pricing models

Licensed
Licensed (or flat fee) pricing means that your customer pays a predetermined fixed price regardless of usage or time duration. A flat fee priced product provides predictability for you and your customer, as it is clear how much is expected to be charged and when.
Usage-based
Usage-based pricing allows you to charge the customer based on their consumption of your product/service. You simply provide access to the service and bill your customers based on what they used.
Per unit
The simplest form of pricing is where the amount per unit is the same regardless of how many units the customer consumes. The total amount is determined by calculating unit_price x quantity.
Tiered
Prices can also be represented in tiers, allowing the unit cost to change with quantity or usage. This allows for more flexibility than static unit prices.
Example use case
Consider you want to offer lower rates to your customers who consume a lot of your service per period (e.g. API calls). With tiered pricing you can set-up either volume-based or graduated pricing accordingly:
| Tier | Price per tier |
|---|---|
| 1-10 | 79 DKK |
| 11-50 | 69 DKK |
| 51-100 | 59 DKK |
| 101+ | 39 DKK |
So if a customer makes only 5 API calls, they pay 79 DKK per call. If they make 30 calls, they pay 69 DKK per call (volume-based tiers).
