Pricing Parameters

Volume Discounts
The rebate parameter controls how the per-unit price decreases as customers scale:
effective_price = base_price × units^(-rebate_parameter)Example with €5/month base price and 0.3 rebate:
| Devices | Effective Price/Unit | Total Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | €5.00 | €5.00 |
| 10 | €2.51 | €25.10 |
| 50 | €1.67 | €83.50 |
| 100 | €1.25 | €125.00 |
