Cost per minute

This billing model is based on the number of configurations actually performed per minute. One advantage of this is that the costs remain low if a newly launched product or company is not yet very well known and the use of the configurator is low at the beginning. When the usage of the configurator increases, the costs also increase accordingly, which pays off when the sales volume increases.

This billing model also takes into account seasonal variations in configurator usage (e.g. summer, winter, spring, Christmas) as well as unexpected national or global economic changes. The costs adjust automatically and are dynamic. The downside is that you don't have predictable fixed costs, but they can stabilize over time.

At least one full minute per configuration is charged. After that, billing is done by the second.

Based on our experience, the average time in the configurator for B2C customers is about 2.5 minutes (+/- 1 minute), while for B2B customers it is about 4.5 minutes (+/- 2 minutes).

To get an idea of how many hits you can expect on your configurator, it is a good idea to check the daily number of your web visitors, for example via Google Analytics. However, it should be noted that the actual number of visitors may be higher, since visitors who reject the Google Analytics cookie are not recorded. In addition, the number of hits depends heavily on how prominently the configurator is placed on your website. For example, if it is easily accessible on the home page, the number of hits may be higher than if it is difficult to find.

If the customer does not perform any further action after the last interaction in the configurator and the configuration remains open in a browser window, this will not be charged.
