What Are the Differences Between Yearly/Monthly and Pay-per-use Billing Mode?

Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing mode in which resources are billed based on the service duration. This cost-effective mode is ideal when the duration of resource usage is predictable. It is recommended for long-term users.

Pay-per-use is a post payment mode, so you can start or stop an instance at any time. Pricing is listed on a per-hour basis, but bills are calculated based on the actual usage duration.
