Billing Models
Billing Model | Explanation | Applicable Scenarios |
---|---|---|
Yearly/Monthly | Users pay a lump sum for the selected duration (month or year). The resource can be used continuously during this period. | Suitable for long-term stable needs, providing a more favorable price compared to on-demand billing, helping users save more money. |
Pay-as-you-go | Billing is done by the hour, with charges deducted on an hourly basis. There is no minimum consumption requirement, and users can enable and delete resources anytime. | Ideal for scenarios with large fluctuations, unpredictable resource demand, or temporary, short-term testing. Recommended for short-term testing or business with varying resource needs. |
