DMS for RabbitMQ has two billing modes: yearly/monthly and pay-per-use. Learn more about Distributed Message Service for RabbitMQ Pricing Details.

Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid mode. You need to pay first, and will be billed for your subscription period. The longer the subscription, the bigger the discount. This mode is recommended for mature services that feature long-term stable requirements.
Pay-per-use is a postpaid mode. You can pay after using the service, and will be billed for your usage duration. The fees are calculated in seconds and settled by hour. This mode allows you to adjust resource usage easily. You do not need to prepare resources in advance, and will not have excessive or insufficient preset resources. This mode is recommended for scenarios such as e-commerce flash sales which feature sudden traffic bursts.
