As a user of external services to build my own SaaS, I am actually forced to prefer the per-use billing model. So much so that I have signed up for only 1 service that bills monthly (and because they are priced way below the competition's monthly charge), and 4 that have a usage-based billing model.

What the usage-based pricing model does, it helps you capture startup customers early on when they are pre-revenue, then you get to keep them as they grow.
