What is pay-as-you-go?

Pay-as-you-go is a billing model where the customer pays only for the resources or services actually used, without a fixed subscription fee.

Example: In cloud services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), you pay only for the amount of computing resources, storage, or traffic that you actually used during a specific period.

Advantages:

• Cost savings, as you do not need to pay for unused resources.
• Scalability flexibility — you can quickly increase or decrease consumption.

This model is often used in SaaS, cloud platforms, and other services with variable usage levels.
