What is Pricing model?

A pricing model is the rule a provider uses to charge you, either by the hour for what you actually use or a fixed rate for a plan. It shapes your bill more than the headline price does, because real usage swings week to week. Hourly billing suits short jobs and testing, while a plan suits steady load. hourly and free tier is the model listed by AceCloud, and hourly is the model listed by Aethir. Check whether a free option is part of the model before you commit, and note how long each billing period runs.
