How billing works
Gewape Cloud supports three billing models. Pay-as-you-go is the default for new accounts; postpaid and contract billing
are available for eligible and enterprise accounts. Your account team sets which one applies, and you can ask to change
it.
Pay-as-you-go (default)
You add credit to your Wallet up front, and as your resources run, usage is metered by the hour and drawn from that
balance. There is no bill at month end; you spend what you have topped up. This is how new accounts start.
- Add credit: Top up your wallet
- See spend and runway: Track your usage
- Running low: If your balance runs low
Postpaid
Approved accounts can be billed in arrears: you use resources through the month and receive an invoice afterwards,
instead of pre-funding a wallet. This suits established customers who prefer to pay on invoice terms. Postpaid is
enabled by our team after a credit review, so talk to your account team to move onto it.
Contract (committed)
For larger or longer-term workloads, we offer contract-based billing: agreed pricing and committed capacity over a term,
invoiced according to the agreement. Contract accounts are billed off-platform, so the Wallet is not shown in their
console. Speak to your account team to set up a contract.
True for every model
- Charges are for what exists, running or not. To stop paying for something, delete it: Delete resources to stop
charges.
- Amounts are shown in your account's own currency and are never converted in the console.
- Invoices and wallet statements are available under Wallet & Usage, where they apply to your account.
Not sure which model you are on? Pay-as-you-go accounts see the Wallet & Usage section with a balance; contract accounts
do not. Your account team can confirm and change it.
