Ask HN : What do you think of the pay-as-you-use model

4 pointsby dan_simabout 16 years ago
We want to use a pay-as-you-use model for our project monitoring service (under heavy redevelopment for now) and we want to know what you think about it.<p>In short, you pay a monthly flat-rate for every user of your team (ex : 10$/user). If you have 2 users, it costs you 20$/month, 3 users = 30$/month and so on.<p>I already wrote about it here : http://bit.ly/payauu

That seems like a model that other similar services have implemented successfully. PBWorks (was pbwiki) charges a flat $ rate per additional user.<p><a href="http://pbworks.com/business-pricing.wiki" rel="nofollow">http://pbworks.com/business-pricing.wiki</a><p>I'd want a few users free to get hooked on the service first.

Variable costs versus fixed costs - yes please.
