PAYG Model

With the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model, you launch a branded cloud storage service for your users without buying servers, storage or software licenses. Cloudike hosts and runs the platform; you connect your billing and SMS gateway and offer the service to your users.

Who PAYG is for​

  • Telecom operators — see PAYG for Telecom Operators
  • Fintech companies
  • Companies that launch white-label subscription bundles combining several digital services
  • App publishers with millions of subscribers who want to add new paid features

How you pay​

  • One-time setup fee. It covers creating your tenant, help with integration and branding of your apps.
  • Monthly invoice. On the first day of each month, you receive an invoice for all packages your users bought or renewed in the previous calendar month, at the price of each plan. For example, if 3 users renewed a 100 GB plan and 2 users subscribed to a 50 GB plan, the invoice is 3 × the 100 GB price plus 2 × the 50 GB price. If a package has a paid grace period, the invoice also includes the total number of paid grace days your users used on that package.

What PAYG includes​

  • Infrastructure. Storage and servers are hosted on AWS and run by Cloudike. You don't need to buy or maintain any equipment.
  • Applications. Your users get branded Cloudike apps: a branded web app for all partners, and branded mobile apps for larger deployments (see PAYG for Telecom Operators). See Product for what the apps can do.
  • Licensing. No software licenses to buy: you pay only for the packages your users buy or renew.

Why PAYG​

  • Low entry cost and lower financial risk. A one-time setup fee instead of a large upfront investment in infrastructure and licenses.
  • World-class functionality out of the box. The platform comes with ready features, reducing the need for customization and accelerating time to market.
  • Scalability. Your costs grow together with the number of packages your users buy or renew.
  • Less maintenance. Cloudike handles deployment and maintenance.
  • Integration with your systems. Connect your billing and SMS gateway through the Integration API Reference.
  • SDK for developers. Your developers can integrate Cloudike features directly into your own apps with our SDKs.
  • Seamless migration of user data. User data can be migrated between PAYG and on-premises Cloudike installations as your infrastructure needs evolve.
  • Fast launch. Launch, including your tenant setup and branding, takes about one month.
