I have thought of an idea for pricing few actors. Since they are niche actors and ppe isn’t much compatible with them. I can do it, but i bet it will confuse user for sure.
So first idea was to just charge a fixed amount on the very first run of the month and then keep everything free after that. Sounds simple but the problem is someone runs it on day 1 and boom they see a big charge on a single run with no context, pretty confusing. And what if someone runs it once in January, forgets about it, comes back end of February — they get hit twice for literally 2 runs total. Just feels wrong.
Second idea was tracking how many days someone uses it and charging at the end of the month.
What I landed on is incremental charging each run adds a small amount and it slowly builds up over the month. Light users pay almost nothing, regular users end up around X by end of month, heavy users hit the cap early and everything after that is free.
I know it still sounds a bit complex lol but honestly normal PPE just doesn’t work here. And PPE will completely confuse the user because it had confused me too in my case. So this was the fairest way I could think of.
