Your product has more than one way to charge. Your billing should too.

SaaS and GenAI companies rarely stay with a single pricing model. A fixed platform fee may include committed usage. Seats may be supplemented by API calls, tokens or compute. Credits, overages and successful outcomes can introduce additional charges.

When each model is handled by a different system, pricing flexibility creates operational friction:

01

Product usage, pricing rules and invoices drift apart.

02

New tiers, credits and overage models become engineering projects.

03

Mid-cycle changes create manual corrections and customer disputes.

04

Finance must reconcile consumed, billed and recognized revenue after the fact.

Converge recurring, usage-based and outcome-based revenue

OneBill brings recurring, one-time, usage-based and rule-based charges together through hybrid billing. Pricing teams can combine predictable commitments with variable consumption while finance maintains one invoice, one customer balance and one auditable revenue trail.

01

Configure the model

Launch tiered, volume-based, credit-based, per-seat, per-token or outcome-based pricing as configuration—not custom billing code. Use CPQ and pricing controls to carry approved commercial terms into billing accurately.

02

Capture and rate consumption

Use real-time metering and rating for API calls, tokens, compute, storage, transactions and other usage events. Apply tiers, commitments, allowances, overages and customer-specific rates as events arrive.

03

Manage the subscription lifecycle

Keep upgrades, downgrades, renewals, cancellations and proration synchronized through subscription lifecycle management—including changes made during a billing period.

04

Invoice and collect

Bring platform fees, seats, usage, credits and overages onto one clear invoice through billing automation. Automate payment collection, dunning and customer communications without separate billing runs.

05

Recognize and protect revenue

Connect billed and consumed revenue to revenue recognition under ASC 606 and IFRS 15. Use revenue assurance to identify mismatches among metered usage, rated charges and invoiced amounts.

Built for pricing models that continue to evolve

Start with subscriptions. Add consumption. Introduce prepaid credits, committed usage or outcome-based pricing as your product matures. OneBill supports the transition without forcing each new monetization model into a separate stack.

Subscription + overage
Platform fee + usage
Prepaid credits + pay-as-you-go consumption
Seats + tokens or API calls
Commitment + tiered overage

Let customers see what they are paying for

Give customers access to current usage, invoices, balances, payment methods and plan changes through self-service billing. Clear usage visibility and an auditable charge trail help reduce billing questions and build trust in variable pricing.

Telecom-grade monetization depth for SaaS and AI

Complex usage is not new to OneBill. The same foundation used to mediate, rate and bill high-volume telecom usage can support SaaS and GenAI products monetizing APIs, tokens, compute, storage and digital outcomes. The units change; the need for accurate rating, revenue assurance and explainable invoices does not.

Frequently asked questions

What is hybrid billing for SaaS?

Hybrid billing combines predictable recurring charges—such as subscriptions, seats or platform access—with variable charges based on usage, credits, overages or outcomes on one invoice.

What is the difference between usage-based and hybrid billing?

Usage-based billing charges according to consumption. Hybrid billing combines consumption charges with recurring fees, commitments or other pricing components.

Can OneBill combine recurring and usage-based billing?

Yes. OneBill can configure and bill recurring, one-time, usage-based and rule-based charges together through hybrid billing.

What can SaaS and GenAI companies meter?

OneBill can meter units such as API calls, tokens, compute, storage, transactions, active users and other product-defined events through usage-based billing.

Can pricing change without rebuilding billing logic?

Pricing teams can configure tiers, commitments, credits, allowances and overage rates without creating a separate billing process for every model.

Does hybrid billing connect to revenue recognition?

Yes. Billed and consumed revenue can feed revenue recognition schedules, reducing separate reconciliation work.

Can OneBill support outcome-based AI-agent pricing?

Yes. Consumption and outcome events can be rated alongside platform fees or other recurring charges.
