Overview

There are monthly and pay-per-use billing modes to meet your requirements.

• Monthly Billing: This is a prepaid billing mode. You pay in advance for a subscription period. It is generally suitable for mature businesses with long-term, stable demand.
• Pay-per-Use Billing: This is a postpaid billing mode. You are billed based on the actual token consumption that exceeds the package allowance. The billing unit is per thousand tokens, and fees are settled hourly.
  

  • You must purchase a basic or professional edition package before enabling pay-per-use billing.
  • If both monthly subscription and pay-per-use billing are enabled, token consumption is deducted from your package allowance first. Once exhausted, you will be automatically billed at the pay-per-use rate.

  The price is calculated according to Model as a Service (MaaS) standards.

  For supported models and detailed billing rules for MaaS, refer to prices of preset model services.

  Table 1 lists the differences between the two billing modes.
