Fixed Price
Fixed rate is charged irrespective of the usage. For example - if a fixed price rate card is defined with a price of INR 500, then INR 500 is added to the invoice irrespective of usages for fee component.| Fee Component Usage | Price |
|---|---|
| 0 | 500 |
| 42 | 500 |
| 89 | 500 |
Rate Per Unit
Each usage of the fee component is priced at same price. For ex - if a rate card is define as per unit rate of INR 10, then the price would be calculated as (total_usage * 10)| Fee Component Usage | Price |
|---|---|
| 42 | 420 |
| 89 | 890 |
Graduated Pricing
This pricing is used when different usage amounts are divided into different tiers. Think of cases when you want the per unit price to go down as users use more of your product (a discount of sorts). In that case, one can define tiers as below| Tier Start | Tier Limit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 50 | 10 |
| 50 | 100 | 9 |
| 100 | ∞ | 8 |
| Fee Component Usage | Price |
|---|---|
| 40 | 400 (10 per unit for first 40 → 10×40) |
| 60 | 590 (10 per unit for first 50 and 9 per unit after that → 10×50 + 9×10) |
| 120 | 1110 (10 per unit for first 50, 9 per unit for next 50, and 8 per unit after that → 10×50 + 9×50 + 8×20) |
Volume Based Pricing
This pricing is used when the total usage amount falls into a single tier, and the entire usage is priced at the rate of that tier. Think of cases when you want to give a better per unit price only if the customer crosses a certain threshold — and the entire usage benefits from that lower price. For example:| Tier Start | Tier Limit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 50 | 10 |
| 50 | 100 | 9 |
| 100 | ∞ | 8 |
| Fee Component Usage | Price |
|---|---|
| 40 | 400 (entire 40 units at 10 per unit ⇒ 10 × 40) |
| 60 | 540 (entire 60 units at 9 per unit ⇒ 9 × 60) |
| 120 | 960 (entire 120 units at 8 per unit ⇒ 8 × 120) |
Min Max Pricing
This pricing is used when the charge is the minimum or maximum of two amounts — typically between a flat fee and a fee calculated as a function of the total usage (either a fixed amount per unit or a percentage of total value). It’s useful when you want to ensure a minimum revenue floor or cap the charge at a certain maximum value, regardless of high usage. For example -| Usage | Flat Fee | % of Usage × Rate | Applied Pricing Logic | Final Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 300 | 30 × 8 = 240 | Max of (300, 240) | 300 |
| 60 | 300 | 60 × 8 = 480 | Max of (300, 480) | 480 |
| 100 | 600 | 100 × 7 = 700 | Min of (600, 700) | 600 |
- Minimum of (flat fee, % of usage) → useful for discount caps
- Maximum of (flat fee, % of usage) → useful for minimum commitment pricing
