The subscription model is A la carte model. In the subscription model, you are allowed to use only the subscribed services which you need

  • Pay at a fixed cost, regardless of consumption of the services.
  • Pay in advance when the contract starts and renews at the end of the contract period.
  • The contract period typically is 1 to 3 years.
  • Pay whether you use it or not.
