*This time we will use a complicated rate plan as an example, but please do not set up such a complicated rate plan unless there is a deep reason. SaaS usage fees should not be considered based on cost, but rather on how much value the customer will receive. Therefore, complex pricing will force customers to make complex calculations and forecasts, and while using SaaS will reduce the burden on customers, it will place a burden on them for pricing calculations and forecasts. You should create a pricing plan that is as simple and easy to understand as possible.
