The usage-based plan says a $50 monthly minimum is applied to usage and excess is pay as you go.
The page offers committed use contracts.
Lago analysis
- Tradeoff
Separate meters expose cost drivers; a minimum and commitments add contract logic.
- Billing and revenue work
Rate independent usage dimensions, apply included quantities and minimums, and keep commitments visible to Finance.
This is an implementation inference, not a claim about the company's internal systems or Lago usage.
