Usage-Based Pricing

Usage-based pricing is a pricing model where customers only pay for the amount or frequency of usage of a particular product or service. This model is becoming increasingly popular in various industries such as telecommunications, software, and utilities. Companies use this model to offer flexible pricing options to customers based on their individual usage patterns. For example, a software company may offer a basic package with limited features at a low monthly rate, but charge additional fees based on the number of users or the amount of data processed. Similarly, a utility company may offer a plan where customers pay for the amount of electricity or water they use instead of a flat rate. Usage-based pricing benefits both the customer and the company by providing a more personalized and cost-effective solution. Customers are able to pay for only what they use, while companies can increase revenue by charging for additional usage beyond the basic package.
