What is Pricing model?

In short

The pricing model is the pattern of how a provider charges you.

A pricing model is the pattern behind a provider's charges, such as a permanent free plan or a time-limited free trial. It shapes your first bill more than any single price does. 1C is the one here that offers a free trial, which means you try it and then start paying. 1Office, 1UZ, 1Window and 3dcart / Shift4Shop all list a free plan instead, so you can keep using the product at no cost. A free plan usually caps how much you can do, so check the limits before you rely on it.
