What Are Pre-payment and Post-payment? How Do I Choose Between Them?

Pre-payment refers to the yearly/monthly billing mode. The system calculates the price based on the BMS type and quantity you select and deducts the sum from your account.

Post-payment refers to the pay-per-use billing mode, which means that you pay for what you use. BMSs do not support this mode.

If your services are stable and you need BMSs for a long term, pre-payment is recommended. If your service demands fluctuate greatly and are hard to predict accurately, or temporary or abrupt demand spikes may occur, post-payment may better suit your needs.
