Usage-Based Pricing Model
Pay only for the resources you actually consume, not for the number of people on your team.
How It Works
Instead of charging per user or per seat, Fairlx tracks your actual resource consumption:
- Traffic — API requests, page views, data transfer
- Storage — Files, attachments, database records
- Compute — Background jobs, automations, integrations
At the end of each billing cycle, you pay only for what you used above the free tier.
vs Per-Seat Pricing
Traditional project management tools charge per user:
❌ Per-Seat Problems
- • Pay same for power users and occasional viewers
- • Hesitate to add stakeholders due to cost
- • Costs spike as team grows
- • Pay for inactive users
✓ Usage-Based Benefits
- • Unlimited team members included
- • Add anyone without cost anxiety
- • Pay proportional to actual work
- • No penalties for team growth
What You Pay For
Your bill is based on three metrics:
- Traffic — Every API call, webhook, and page load counts as a request
- Storage — Total data stored including files, images, and records
- Compute — Time spent running background jobs and automations
Note
A generous free tier is included with every account, so small teams and personal projects often pay nothing.
Benefits
- Scale without surprises — Costs grow predictably with usage
- Invite everyone — Stakeholders, clients, contractors—no per-seat fees
- Pay for value — Active projects cost more, idle ones cost less
- Try before you commit — Generous free tier for evaluation
