Pay per use You pay for exactly what you used — one unit at a time, no bundle to buy. Prepaid bundle, no renewal You buy a bundle first — 100 minutes, 10 credits — and draw it down. Nothing renews. Free tier you can stay on A free allowance with no clock on it, that does the job on its own. One-off, yours for good You buy it once and keep it. No rent, ever.
