Billing and Account Management

You can manage your PERIAN account and billing in two ways:

  1. 1. Unlimited access with a monthly bill: This option offers unlimited usage with a fixed monthly bill for uninterrupted access to the platform. We recommend this method for production settings.

  2. 2. Pay-as-you-go with credits: Purchase credits that can be used to consume resources on-demand. Credits provide flexibility based on your specific workload and usage needs. You can use this method for testing and limiting spend to a certain budget.

Unlimited Platform Access

To use the platform with Unlimited access, you'll need to add a payment method to your account. PERIAN partners with Stripe for simplified billing.

  1. 1. Follow the Add Payment Method link
  2. 2. Enter the email address associated with your account
  3. 3. You will receive an email with instructions. The email contains a link to your customer account to add your payment information

Supported Payment Methods

  • Credit Card
  • SEPA Debit
  • Bank Transfer

Pay-as-you-go with Credits

To use PERIAN with a credit-based system, follow these steps:

1. After registration, use the PERIAN CLI command to generate a payment link, specifying the amount of Euros you want to credit to your account: 
perian billing topup --amount <number>

2. Click the provided payment link to purchase the credits

3. After the payment is successful, the amount is automatically credited to your account

Important Information:


  • Credits are immediately available after purchase
  • You can start running jobs as soon as credits are added
  • When your credit balance is depleted, active jobs will be terminated
  • New jobs cannot be started without available credits

Note: Your account can only be either credit-based or unlimited. You cannot use both payment methods simultaneously.
