Tier — a range of consumed Credits, defining a ‘Subscription price’ and ‘Pay-as-you-go price’ per Credit within a Tier.
Calculation logic with examples
Note:All the numbers above are provided for logic illustration only.
Product monthly price calculation includes three steps: Consumption units, Credits, and price.
Step 1. Calculating Consumption units
Consumed units are calculated during the reporting period. Take a look at the example below:
| Month | Product | Consumption Unit | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022, Aug | Pipeline | Data Source | 5 |
| 2022, Aug | Pipeline | Pipeline | 15 |
| 2022, Aug | Transformation | Operation Run | 900 |
Each unit has criteria to be calculated as «consumed» and rounding. For instance:
- If a Pipeline was created, but no data is gathered within a month, the Pipeline isn't counted.
- The number of consumed operation runs is rounded up to hundreds.
Step 2. Calculating Credits
Each Consumption unit has a predefined Credit value:
| Product | Unit | Credits Per Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Pipeline | Data Source | 75 |
| Pipeline | Pipeline | 40 |
| Transformation | Operation Run | 1 |
Calculation of the consumed Credits is as simple as that: Consumed Credits =
Credits Per Unit × Qty.
| Month | Product | Consumption Unit | Qty | Credits Per Unit | Consumed Credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022, Aug | Pipeline | Data Source | 5 | 75 | 375 |
| 2022, Aug | Pipeline | Pipeline | 15 | 40 | 600 |
| 2022, Aug | Transformation | Operation Run | 900 | 1 | 900 |
| Total Credits | 1875 | ||||
Step 3. Calculating price
NoteThe prices are given as an example to demonstrate the calculation logic. The actual price you get fixed in your contract after the demo call.
As a SaaS product, we offer subscription options for our customers for lower prices than pay-as-you-go. The more credits consumer subscribes to, the less they pay for Credit on average. For instance, customers' product subscriptions could look like this:
| Credits per month | The subscription price per Credit w/in the Tier | Pay-as-you-go price per Credit w/in Tier |
|---|---|---|
| 0-500 | $1.50 | $2.00 |
| 501-2500 | $1.25 | |
| 2501-5000 | $1.00 | |
| 5001-10000 | $0.80 | |
| 10001-50000 | $0.60 | |
| 50001-100000 | $0.40 | |
| 100001-1000000 | $0.20 |
For the example above, the subscription price for 1,875 Credits costs $2,468:
| Credits per month | The subscription price per Credit w/in the Tier | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | $1.50 | $750 |
| 1375 | $1.25 | $1,718 |
| Total: 1,875 credits | $2,468 | |
If the number of actually consumed Credits exceeds subscribed ones, the overdraft will be paid by Pay-as-you-go price. For instance, if a customer subscribes for 1,500 Credits only, but consumes 1,875 Credits in August 2022, an invoice looks like this:
| Month | Credits | Type | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022, Sep | 1,500 | Subscription price | $1,875 |
| 2022, Aug | 375 | Pay-as-you-go price | $750 |
