What can you do with it?
- See the company's active services (VPS, mailboxes, bot accounts) with their price.
- See usage-based charges: Router IA, WhatsApp and Search API.
- Filter the movement history by dates.
- Pay a fixed-fee service for 6, 12 or 18 months with a discount.
When should you use it?
To know how much the company spends and on what, or to lock a service's cost over a long period.
How does it work in ArduMaker?
Monthly fee
A fixed-fee service is charged monthly. If it starts mid-month, the prorated share by hours is charged, with a minimum of €1; if less than 24 hours remain in the month, the charge goes to the next month. When a service is removed, the unused part of the month goes back to the balance.
Usage charges
Router IA, WhatsApp and Search API have no fixed fee: what is used is deducted from the balance as a consumo movement. They cannot be prepaid.
Prepayment
- Blocks of 6, 12 or 18 months. Each plan sets the discount; by default it is 5%, 10% and 15%.
- It comes out of the balance and any shortfall is charged to the card. If the card declines, nothing is contracted.
- At the end it renews automatically, with an email notice 7 days before, unless renewal is turned off; then it goes back to monthly billing.
- Cancelling midway returns to the balance what was paid minus what was used, counted at the monthly price without discount.
- Price increases do not affect a paid block: they apply on renewal.
What actually changes?
Each charge, usage, prepaid block or refund is recorded as a movement in the company history. Prepayment movements carry a reason starting with «Prepago».
Expected result
A clear list of what is contracted and a history explaining each balance movement. Current plan prices are shown on the platform.
