Hello! You probably want to start here, with usage-based billing: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based

#

Yes, SaaS is explicitly mentioned on that page.

I'm not sure if usage based is quite what Im looking for. Its talking about charging customers per usage of tokens at the end of each month. Im looking for more of a set amount of tokens that a user can pay for. For example A starter plan could be 7.99 and the user gets 20k tokens and so on. This documentation is more about charging the users per tokens used. I worded that kind of weird let me know if I need to explain in a different way!

#

I mostly don't want to do the usage based because that means users would have to add a card when signing up and that could make people not want to make an account.

I think you still want to use usage-based billing. Have a look at this page and see if any of these pricing models are close to what you want to do: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/pricing-models

Hello
What sort of documentation exactly? The doc you shared seems to outline the pricing models?

lunar trail Feb 10, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

Oh im so sorry! The Fixed fee and overage model!

austere goblet Feb 10, 2025, 8:01 PM
