One Event, One Charge
- Events-based billing charges a defined price for each discrete action a customer triggers.
- Common events include an API call, a processed transaction, a verification, or a delivered message.
- It is the most granular form of usage pricing, priced at the level of a single occurrence.
- The model aligns cost to customers directly with the volume of work your product performs.
