Hi there 👋 sorry if I'm missing it, but I'm not seeing a question in your post. Can you help me understand what you're looking for assistance with?

Hi, I am sorry. My concern is rebill period. if a user purchased 6 ~ 20 leads, we need to rebill their credit. do you know about Twilio billing model?
final sparrow
Hm, so it sounds like maybe you're asking about setting up Subscriptions? That's how you create an integration that will charge your customer periodically based on the billing frequency you set:

Is that what you're looking for?

But if a user who have purchased 6 ~ 20 quantity as $45 per unit, then their credits run outed. After credit run outed, they can buy a lead as $50.
how can I implement this with tired pricing model

Oh, so you don't want to bill the customer at a set frequency, you want to charge them up front and then whey they go over their allotted quantity?

Subscriptions aren't a good fit if you don't want to bill based on a set frequency. Instead you'd likely want to track the number of bought and used credits on your side, and charge your customer as their credits run out.

For example, when I purchase the Pro ($40) plan on Vercel, I can get 1 GB bandwidth. Then I will buy extra bandwidth as $1/GB if bandwidth is over than 1GB.
As you see, this idea use subscription model

So it's a bit complex because it almost sounds like this would fit a usage-based billing model, except that you want to seem to charge your customers for overages as one-off payments rather than bumping them up to the next tier's pricing.
Based on what I've heard so far I think the best fit is to create a Subscription for the base price, then create one-off Invoices when your customer goes over their allotted credits and you want to charge them again.

Thank you
