What is the billing model of Tencent RTC?

The service items of Tencent RTC (including Call, Conference, Live, and RTC-engine),Chat and Beauty AR are divided into two major categories according to the service type: monthly subscription and pay-as-you-go. For more information, please refer to the Billing Overview.
Monthly subscription: Tencent RTC introduced prepaid package plans starting from March 7, 2023 (UTC+8), unlocking different value-added functional services for various applications (SDKAppIDs). The package plans for Call, Conference, Live, Chat, Beauty AR, RTC Engine, and Monitoring Dashboard are all monthly subscription packages.

Note:
When you start testing, we recommend beginning with a free trial. Each of our products offers a free trial version, allowing you to choose based on the product features and your business scenarios.
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 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. Even if usage exceeds the plan limit, the service will not be interrupted.
You can choose which product to use based on your specific scenario. If your business covers multiple product scenarios, you can opt to use RTC Engine.
