billingModel:
  type: hybrid
  description: >
    ToolJet uses a hybrid billing model. Cloud plans are priced per-builder
    per-month (seat-based), with a free tier available. Self-hosted plans are
    also seat-based for Team and Enterprise tiers. Enterprise plans are
    custom-quoted. AI credits are included per builder per month on paid plans
    and can be purchased as add-ons on Enterprise. Managed hosting for
    self-hosted deployments is an optional paid add-on.

principles:
  Visibility:
    description: >
      ToolJet provides per-plan usage quotas for builders, end users, apps,
      and AI credits. Cloud customers can track active builder seats and
      application counts within the workspace admin dashboard. Enterprise
      customers receive a dedicated support manager who can assist with
      usage reporting.
    recommendations:
      - Monitor active builder seat count to avoid unintended plan upgrades
      - Track AI credit consumption on Pro and Team plans to anticipate overage
      - Use workspace audit logs (Team/Enterprise) to attribute app usage

  Optimization:
    description: >
      Cost optimization on ToolJet centers on right-sizing the number of
      builder seats and choosing between cloud and self-hosted deployment.
      Annual billing offers a 20% discount on Pro and Team plans.
    recommendations:
      - Switch to annual billing for 20% savings on Pro and Team plans
      - Evaluate self-hosted Community Edition to eliminate per-seat costs
        for organizations with DevOps capacity
      - Deactivate builder accounts for users who only consume applications
        (end users are free on Team/Enterprise)
      - Consolidate workspaces to minimize seat fragmentation
      - Use the Free tier for prototyping before committing to paid plans
