Monthly billing report with usage breakdown and payment status

Monthly Billing Records

Usage CostCharges based on actual platform usage

Click on any billing record to see the full itemized breakdown.

Usage-Based Billing Breakdown

If your account uses usage-based billing, charges are calculated on actual platform activity. The breakdown includes:
Usage TypeDescription
Leads ProcessedTotal leads submitted and processed through the platform
WebhooksNumber of outbound webhook calls fired
PingsPing API calls made during ping-post flows
Lead FetchesLeads retrieved via the lead fetch API
Each usage type has a per-unit rate and a free tier allowance (see Free Tier Allowances below). You are only charged for usage above the free tier.

Integration Usage Tracking

Third-party integrations are billed per API call. The billing report tracks usage for each integration separately so you can understand which services drive the most cost.
IntegrationWhat It Does
ArrayCredit pull and financial data retrieval
Phone ValidationValidates and scores phone numbers in real time
Email ValidationValidates email addresses and checks deliverability
Fraud DetectionScreens leads for fraudulent signals
Loan LookupRetrieves loan and debt information for a lead
Credit PullsSoft or hard credit inquiry services
SpinwheelStudent loan data retrieval and analysis
Each integration row shows:
  • Total calls made during the billing period
  • Cost per call
  • Total cost for that integration

Base Cost and Service Cost Breakdown

Line ItemDescription
Base CostThe fixed monthly cost of your Pingtree subscription plan
Usage Service CostVariable costs from platform usage above free tier limits
Integration Service CostVariable costs from third-party integration API calls
The billing report always separates base costs from usage costs so you have a clear view of your predictable vs. variable spend.

Domain Costs

Domain charges appear as a separate line item in your billing record.
Domain TypeDescription
Internal DomainsDomains purchased and managed through Pingtree
External DomainsDomains registered elsewhere but managed via Pingtree DNS
Domain costs reflect annual registration fees prorated monthly where applicable. Renewal charges appear in the billing period when the renewal occurs.

DID Number Costs

If your organization uses DID (Direct Inward Dialing) phone numbers for call tracking or routing, each active number incurs a monthly fee. The billing report shows:
  • Number of active DID numbers
  • Monthly cost per number
  • Total DID charges for the period

Payment Status and History

Each billing record shows a payment status:
StatusMeaning
PaidPayment has been received and applied
PendingInvoice is open; payment is due

Click on a billing record and select View Payment History to see a log of all payments applied to that invoice.
