I am trying to see what other alternatives exist other than subscription model. Subscription model is annoying to me. I had to track my subscriptions. I am in subscription hell.

So now I am planning to launch a SaaS product, I am trying to is there a better way to price the product other than subscription.

Few options I have is, 1. Pay as you use. Like cloud 2. % upfront with upfront commitment. 3. quarterly - half-yearly pay

    A token model is good for the business, because they get paid in advance of delivering services. It’s good for most customers too, because they only pay for what they use.

    Credits is the way to go.
