When you test with real users or launch your project in a production environment, we suggest purchasing a monthly subscription plan. We have designed a Starter Plan for new users when making their first purchase. It allows you to use our products with a monthly package at a significantly reduced price. During the validity period, the pay-as-you-go billing mode will be enabled for your account, allowing you to scale up at any time.
