Usage-based refers to a pricing and billing model where customers are charged according to the actual consumption of a product or service. Instead of paying a fixed fee, customers pay for what they use, whether that’s API calls, hours, seats, messages, storage, transactions, or any other measurable unit.

This model ensures that the cost directly matches the value delivered, making it ideal for businesses with variable or consumption-driven services. Usage-based models can stand alone as pay-as-you-go or be combined with fixed fees and seat-based pricing to create flexible hybrid offerings.

Pricing models that support usage

Quantity= A amount of usage * price per unit (ppu)

Volume = Within defined price volume gives you a price per unit * usage

Tiered= for all your usage you will pay a defined price per range * usage

Yes. Younium natively supports hybrid pricing models, allowing you to combine usage-based charges with fixed recurring fees or seat-based pricing on a single order. This means billing ops teams can manage flat platform fees alongside variable consumption charges without splitting orders across systems or doing manual reconciliation. All charges are consolidated into one invoice per billing cycle.

Younium matches incoming usage data to the correct charge using identifiers — including custom fields that map to the customer's account or order line. Even when a single customer has multiple active usage products, the matching logic ensures each unit of consumption is attributed to the right charge before invoicing. This eliminates manual mapping and reduces billing errors for RevOps teams managing complex accounts.

Yes. Younium supports preprocessing rules that let you apply customer-specific transformations such as grouping, adjustments, or custom calculations to usage data before it reaches the billing engine. This means RevOps teams can handle one-off commercial agreements or edge cases without touching the underlying product or price list configuration.
