Use Cases

Rapidly deploy hybrid commitment, credits, and prepaid usage models

Other pricing and rating solutions take months to integrate and deploy. Continuous lets you offer flexible, value-added pricing options for customers in a fraction of the time.

Launch flexible, consumption-based pricing faster than ever

Only consumption-based models can drive retention by drawing a line between what customers use and what they pay. Continuous enables dozens of payment options, incentive programs, and pricing structures that encourage stickier, more active usage patterns.

Allow customers to purchase one-time credits or make recurring prepayments.

Multi-product credit burndown
