Add-ons and allowances are fixed or variable recurring fees that can be linked to your core plans in Billsby. You can choose whether you want to make them mandatory or optional, just as you can choose whether you want to charge for them, or include it in the plan for free.
Add-ons are billed in advance at the start of each billing cycle, alongside the cost of the plan the customer has subscribed to. In contrast, Allowances are billed are the end of the billing cycles, once the usage over the period has been calculated.
