Pay per use?
Is there a way to implement some sort of pay per use billing setup, where the user is billed immediately after a single consumption event, not at the end of the cycle?

Hey, Thanks for reaching out.
At the moment, Kinde doesn’t support immediate pay-per-use billing. Billing is currently based on subscription cycles. That said, I’ve passed your request on to our product team as a feature request for once-off transactions. We’ll keep you updated if this becomes available in the future. Please let me know if you’d like me to suggest any current workarounds depending on your use case.
Thanks

What about credits? Does Kinde support giving X amount of credits to a new / free user?
Yes, Kinde supports implementing a dynamic credit-based free trial model where new or free users are given a set amount of credits to explore your product.
This approach allows you to allocate a specific number of credits to each new user, which they consume as they use the product. When they run out of credits, you can prompt them to upgrade to a paid plan.
The logic for tracking and decrementing credits is handled in your application, while Kinde provides the billing infrastructure to manage the transition to paid subscriptions and the associated payment processing.
Here I attached some resources from our documentation.
