Prepaid term
Answer in brief
A prepaid term is a rental paid ahead for a fixed period in exchange for a lower hourly figure.
Prepaid term in practice
A term suits a card that will be on for most of the period, such as one serving users. You pay for every hour of the term, used or not.
To judge one, multiply the term rate by every hour in the term and compare the total with the on-demand cost of the hours you would really use. Runcrate lets you prepay a machine for 1 to 12 months at a discount.
