Overview
Enso supports four main plan types:- One Time Fixed Fee
- Recurring Fixed Fee

1. One Time Fixed Fee
Use this plan type if there is a single, upfront fee to be paid.Example:
A setup fee for onboarding a new customer. When to use:
- Onboarding/setup fees
- One-time purchases

2. Recurring Fixed Fee
Use this plan type for regular, fixed payments (e.g., monthly or yearly).Example:
A monthly subscription for a SaaS product. When to use:
- Standard subscriptions
- Maintenance contracts
- Memberships
3. License Fee
Use this plan type for recurring fees based on the number of licenses, seats, or subscriptions.Example:

- User-based SaaS pricing
- Seat-based subscriptions
- Any plan where the fee scales with the number of licenses
4. Usage Fee
Use this plan type for charges based on consumption or usage of units.Example:

Choosing the Right Plan Type
| Plan Type | Best For | Example |
|---|---|---|
| One Time Fixed Fee | Single, upfront payments | Setup fee |
| Recurring Fixed Fee | Regular, fixed interval payments | Monthly subscription |
| License Fee | Recurring, per-license/seat payments | $10/user/month SaaS |
