Hybride Abrechnungsmodelle

​

Was ist hybride Abrechnung?

​

Warum hybride Abrechnung verwenden?

​

Häufige hybride Muster

​

Hybrides Modell 1: Abonnement + Nutzung

​

So funktioniert es

• Inklusive: 10.000 API-Aufrufe/Monat
• Überlastung: 0,005 USD pro Aufruf nach 10.000

• Basisabonnement: 49,00 USD
• Überlastung: (25.000 - 10.000) × 0,005 USD = 75,00 USD
• Gesamt: 124,00 USD

​

Anwendungsfälle

• API-Plattformen: Basiszugang + Gebühren pro Anfrage
• AI/ML-Dienste: Abonnement + Token/Generierungsnutzung
• Speicherdienste: Basisplan + Gebühren pro GB Überlastung
• Kommunikationsplattformen: Basis + Gebühren pro Nachricht/Minute

​

Implementierung

Dashboard: Meters → Create Meter
Event Name: "api.call"
Aggregation: Count
This tracks API calls per customer

Dashboard: Create Product → Subscription
Name: "Pro Plan"
Base Price: $49/month

Then attach usage pricing:
- Meter: api.call
- Price per unit: $0.005
- Free threshold: 10,000 (included in subscription)

const session = await client.checkoutSessions.create({
  product_cart: [
    { product_id: 'prod_pro_plan', quantity: 1 }
  ],
  customer: { email: '[email protected]' },
  return_url: 'https://yourapp.com/success'
});

await fetch('https://api.dodopayments.com/events/ingest', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    events: [{
      event_id: `call_${Date.now()}`,
      customer_id: 'cus_123',
      event_name: 'api.call',
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
      metadata: { endpoint: '/v1/generate' }
    }]
  })
});

​

So funktioniert es

• Basisplattformgebühr: 99 USD/Monat (beinhaltet 3 Sitze)
• Zusätzliche Sitze: 15 USD/Sitz/Monat

• Plattformgebühr: 99,00 USD
• Zusätzliche Sitze: (12 - 3) × 15 USD = 135,00 USD

const session = await client.checkoutSessions.create({
  product_cart: [{
    product_id: 'prod_team_plan',
    quantity: 1,
    addons: [{
      addon_id: 'addon_seat',
      quantity: 9  // 9 extra seats (12 total with 3 included)
    }]
  }],
  customer: { email: '[email protected]' },
  return_url: 'https://yourapp.com/success'

Best Practices für die Implementierung

​

Klarheit auf der Preis-Seite

​

Kostenvorhersehbarkeit

// Provide a cost calculator
function estimateMonthlyCost({
  plan,
  seats,
  expectedUsage,
  addons
}: EstimateParams): number {
  let total = plan.basePrice;

  // Add seat costs
  const extraSeats = Math.max(0, seats - plan.includedSeats);
  total += extraSeats * plan.seatPrice;

  // Add usage overage
  const overage = Math.max(0, expectedUsage - plan.includedUsage);
  total += overage * plan.overageRate;

  // Add feature add-ons
  total += addons.reduce((sum, addon) => sum + addon.price, 0);

  return total;
}

​

Nutzungstransparenz

// Display usage dashboard
async function getUsageSummary(subscriptionId: string) {
  const usage = await client.subscriptions.getUsageHistory(subscriptionId);

  return {
    current: usage.current_period_usage,
    included: usage.free_threshold,
    remaining: Math.max(0, usage.free_threshold - usage.current_period_usage),
    overage: Math.max(0, usage.current_period_usage - usage.free_threshold),
    projectedCost: calculateProjectedOverage(usage)
  };
}
