CompactSaaS Pricing Guide
Last updated: 2026-10-04
Pricing Model
CompactSaaS uses pure usage-based pricing. No tiers, no minimums, no per-seat fees. You pay only for what you use.
Billing cycle: Usage is invoiced monthly at the end of each billing period — you pay for exactly what you used that period, with no minimum-balance threshold.
Card required at signup. There is no free plan — every meter below is billable from the first unit, with two exceptions: the first 1,000 stored links are included at no charge (per team, per billing period), and custom domains are included at no charge — there is no per-domain or per-day fee.
Per-Unit Prices

| Web Analytics | Custom Events | $0.00005 / event | 50K events = $2.50 |
| Link Management | Edge Redirects (clicks) | $0.000005 / click | 1M clicks = $5.00 |
| Link Management | Stored Links | $0.0005 / link / month — first 1,000 included | 1,000 links = $0; 3,000 links = $1.00 |
| Link Management | Custom Domains | Included | $0 — no per-domain or per-day charge |
| QR Codes | Included | $0 | Included with link creation |

Billing Cycle
Usage is invoiced monthly: at the end of each billing period, Stripe generates an invoice for that period's accumulated usage and charges your card on file. There is no minimum-balance threshold — you pay for exactly what you used, even if it's only a few cents.
| When | What Happens |
|---|---|
| During the month | Usage accumulates; view it in real-time on the billing dashboard |
| End of billing period | Invoice generated for the period's usage and card charged |
| Zero usage in a period | No invoice generated |

Questions
- What if I have zero usage? You won't be charged. Your card is on file but no invoice is generated.
- How do I keep track of what I'm spending? Your billing dashboard shows accumulated charges in real-time, and every invoice breaks the charges down by meter.
- What happens if my card fails? Stripe retries automatically. Your account stays active during the retry period.
- Can I see my usage in real-time? Yes — the billing dashboard shows accumulated charges and per-meter breakdown updated hourly.
