Billing and Usage
All Paradym’s billing aligns with one simple principle. We bet on your success. What does this mean? It means that building is focused on helping you grow your solution, and being there every step of the way.
With the addition of the API we’re adjusting our billing to incorporate pay-by-usage. Paradym builders pay a flat fee to access the pro tier, which enables them to deploy to production. Within the pro tier, they then pay for actual transactions used.

Transactions
The table below lists how actions performed within Paradym count toward transaction usage across the standard tiers. Each standard tier includes a set number of transactions and defines the cost for additional usage. For custom tier plans, transaction units and distribution can be tailored to your specific needs and agreed upon separately. For all requests, see the API reference .
