Meter, rate, and monetize every usage event

Usage-based billing software measures what a customer consumes, applies the appropriate pricing and contract rules, and converts that consumption into billable charges. It typically connects usage collection and mediation with rating, billing, invoicing, and revenue operations. OneBill supports usage alongside subscription, hybrid, commitment, credit-based, and outcome-based models.

Usage data is captured from a source such as a telecom network, application, API, AI model, cloud service, device, or meter. Events are validated and mediated, then rated against the customer’s pricing and contract terms. Rated usage becomes billable charges that can be invoiced, reconciled, and ultimately recognized as revenue.

Telecom usage-based billing collects events such as CDRs, voice minutes, messages, bandwidth, roaming, or data consumption. Mediation normalizes and enriches those events before complex rating applies the appropriate customer, service, destination, time, tier, or contract rules. The resulting charges can then flow into invoicing, partner settlement, revenue assurance, and revenue recognition.

CDR mediation converts raw call detail records and other network usage records into consistent events that can be accurately rated and billed. It can validate, normalize, enrich, aggregate, deduplicate, and route records from multiple network sources before applying pricing rules.

Yes. OneBill supports recurring, usage-based, and hybrid billing for communications models including VoIP, UCaaS, MVNO, ISP/WISP, and other service providers. It can process high-volume usage, complex rating, customer-specific pricing, and multi-level partner or reseller structures.

Metered billing describes measuring a customer’s consumption and charging according to that quantity. Usage-based billing is often used more broadly for the complete monetization process around usage, including mediation, rating, commitments, credits, hybrid pricing, invoicing, revenue assurance, and revenue recognition.

OneBill supports pay-as-you-go, per-event, tiered, volume, subscription plus usage, minimum commitments with overages, prepaid credits and wallets, dynamic or attribute-based pricing, customer-specific rate plans, and outcome-based models. Multiple models can be combined within the same customer contract.

Yes. Hybrid billing combines a recurring subscription, platform, or seat fee with variable consumption. A plan might include a monthly fee, an included usage allowance, a minimum commitment, and overage charges. OneBill manages recurring and usage components together within the same customer and billing workflow.

SaaS companies can meter product activity such as API calls, transactions, storage, data processing, feature usage, or other consumption units. OneBill applies the appropriate pricing, credits, commitments, tiers, and overages and combines variable usage with recurring subscriptions when required.

AI businesses can meter tokens, inference, GPU or compute time, model calls, agent actions, workflow executions, credits, and other measurable units. OneBill can apply usage, hybrid, commitment, credit-based, or outcome-based pricing and connect the resulting charges to billing and downstream revenue processes.

Yes. AI agents can be monetized using measurable consumption or value signals such as agent actions, workflow executions, completed tasks, transactions, compute consumption, or outcomes. These charges can also be combined with platform subscriptions, commitments, credits, or minimum fees.

Mediation prepares raw usage for rating and billing. It can normalize different event formats, validate records, enrich usage with customer or product context, aggregate events, remove duplicates, and handle late-arriving data. This helps ensure valid billable events reach the correct pricing and billing workflow.

OneBill’s mediation and rating capabilities are designed for high-volume event processing across telecom networks, API logs, AI workloads, meter data, transactions, and other event streams. OneBill customer deployments process tens of millions of usage transactions per day.

OneBill can process late-arriving and retroactive usage events and apply pricing rules appropriate to the relevant usage period. This helps prevent valid consumption from being dropped or rated against the wrong commercial terms.

OneBill connects usage mediation, complex rating, customer entitlements, billing, and revenue assurance. This makes it possible to identify missing or anomalous usage and discrepancies between what was consumed, rated, and billed rather than relying only on the final invoice to detect problems.

Yes. Negotiated rates, customer-specific price books, custom tiers, minimum commitments, credits, discounts, ramps, and overage rules can be configured at the customer or contract level. This allows commercial terms established during quoting to flow into downstream billing.

Usage creates variable revenue that may need to be recognized according to contract terms and accounting requirements. OneBill connects billing with RevRec360 to support ASC 606 / IFRS 15 revenue recognition and reconciliation for usage-driven and hybrid contracts.
