Prepaid billing means funding a balance in advance and drawing it down as you use models, rather than receiving a bill after the fact. It removes the risk of runaway invoices and makes spend visible in real time. Infere uses a prepaid, credit-based model with no subscription.

Why it matters

Postpaid billing means the invoice arrives after the spend. Prepaid billing makes spend visible in real time and impossible to exceed your funded balance.

How it works

You fund a balance in advance and it is drawn down per request. There is no subscription and no minimum, and unspent balance remains on the account.

Example

Teams fund a balance at the start of a project and treat the running balance as the budget, with auto-recharge for continuity.
