      Billing Method

      Billing Method
      Description
      Pay-as-you-go (postpaid)
      This is the default billing mode for APM in which resources are used first and billed later. Charges are based on the actual usage of various billable items on an hourly basis. The fees are calculated, settled, deducted, and billed hourly. For more information, please see Pay-as-you-go (Postpaid).
      Package (prepaid)
      Resources packs of APM are offered based on various billable items. These packs are purchased in advance and used later. At the time of settlement, the system will primarily deduct the usage from the package plan. Any usage exceeding the package will be billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. For more information, please see Packages (Prepaid).

      Billable Items

      The two billing modes supported by APM offer identical product features. The functionality does not vary due to the different billable items of the product.
