Prepaid Billing

Zata.ai’s prepaid billing model allows users to purchase storage in advance with flexible upgrade options.

Key Points:

Billing Cycle: The cycle starts on the date of purchase and continues for the selected duration (e.g., monthly or yearly).

Storage Upgrades:

• Users can upgrade storage anytime after 2 days from the initial purchase or a previous upgrade.

• When upgrading, a new billing cycle starts from the upgrade date.

• The remaining balance of the previous plan is adjusted while upgrading to ensure fair billing.

• Transaction Gap: A 48-hour transaction gap is maintained between consecutive upgrades to prevent billing discrepancies.

• No Downgrade During Billing Cycle: Storage cannot be downgraded Within the same cycle once upgraded.

Pay-as-you-go Billing

Zata.ai’s Pay-as-you-go model provides a flexible billing structure where users pay based on actual storage consumption.

Key Points:

• Billing Rate: ₹2.5 per TB per hour, billed monthly at the end of the billing cycle.

• No Fixed Commitment: Users pay only for the storage they use during the billing period.

• Storage Scaling: Storage usage is tracked dynamically, and charges are calculated accordingly.

• Automatic Billing: Total usage is calculated at the end of each cycle, and the invoice is generated.
