Yearly/Monthly Subscriptions

Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing option that helps you save money.

It gives you unlimited usage of KooMessage during the duration you purchase.

Once KooMessage is enabled, you cannot disable it, but if you do not use KooMessage, no expenditures will be generated.

Since the prepaid yearly/monthly option is non-refundable, confirm your order before purchasing.

Scenarios

Yearly/monthly billing is a good choice for resource stability over a certain period for these types of workloads:

Long-term usage with constant demands, since yearly/monthly billing is more cost-efficient. Examples: e-commerce platforms and banks.
Long-term projects, since yearly/monthly billing ensures stable product usage throughout the project. Examples: government projects and large-scale promotion activities.
Predictable service peaks, since shortages can be avoided by purchasing resources in advance for these periods of higher demand. Examples: sales promotions and festivals.
