This topic introduces you to the billing rules and prices of various components on Mobile PaaS (mPaaS for short).
Billing mode
The components of mPaaS are billed according to the usage and provide two billing modes:
Prepaid mode: It refers to the billing mode in which you pay first and then use the service.
Postpaid mode: It refers to the billing mode in which the service is used first, and the charging is performed in steps according to the usage at the end of the billing cycle. After the service is activated, this mode is adopted by default.
The billing modes supported by mPaaS components are shown in the following table:

Billing rules
In the post-paid mode, the tiered pricing method is adopted according to the usage of the billing items. The system will reset the usage to 0 on 1st of each month, re-accumulate the usage, and charge according to the tiered pricing method. mPaaS offers free quota that allows you to get started at no cost. As the first tier in the tiered pricing method, the free quota will be used first when billing.
Billing cycle
Prepaid mode: The billing cycle is the length of the service purchased.
Postpaid mode: The system takes the day as the billing cycle, and the bill is updated once a day to inform users of the new charges in the last billing cycle (T+3).
