Overview
SecMaster supports two billing modes, yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing, to meet requirements in different scenarios.
- Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing mode. You pay in advance for a subscription term. The longer you use the service, the more discounts you got.
- Pay-per-use billing is a postpaid mode in which you pay for what you use. You are billed by second based on the actual usage. Your bill is settled by the hour. With the pay-per-use billing mode, you can easily adapt to resource requirement changes, reducing the risk of over-provisioning of resources or lacking capacity. In this mode, there are no upfront commitments required.
