getoctane.io: Pay-As-You-Go Pricing with Akash Khanolkar

Pay-as-you-go pricing has become a strong selling point for modern SaaS companies as well as cloud-based companies. Public cloud providers, for example, typically only charge you for only what you use. But implementing this option is challenging because it requires advanced platform analytics.

The company Octane is a drop-in metered billing system that gives you flexibility to bill how you want. They offer expressive price plans that bill on usage, include base rates, add-ones, discounts, and trials. Their services can be integrated easily with simple APIs and SDKs, and generate detailed breakdowns of customer usage and spending with customizable reports and dashboards.

In this episode we talk to Akash Khanolkar, Co-founder at Octane.
