Monetization of a Product

Product Example: Skycapp FHIR Server

Note: Skycapp FHIR Server and the Skycapp licenses (Skycapp01, Skycapp02, and Skycapp03) are just a fictitious product and licenses used only for the purpose of this explanation, guide, and example.

Indefinite Example

Lifetime: The first option is to purchase a lifetime membership. This means you can buy a license to the product for $10,000. This license is valid indefinitely, allowing you to use the Skycapp FHIR Server without any time-based restrictions. It’s a one-time investment that ensures continuous access to the server’s capabilities without needing to worry about renewals or expiration dates.

Usage Plan: In addition to the lifetime access, Skycapp01 includes a usage-based fee model. After acquiring the lifetime license, users are charged $0.0001 per API event. This pay-as-you-go structure is ideal for those who may have variable usage needs, as it allows for cost control based on the actual number of API requests processed.

Relative Date Example

1 Year Subscription: Skycapp02 offers a one-year subscription option for $2,000 upon initial licensing. This type of license is valid for 364 days from the date of purchase, providing full access to the Skycapp FHIR Server’s functionalities for that period.

1 Year Renewal: After the initial subscription period ends, the license can be renewed for an additional year. The renewal cost is currently $4,000, reflecting potential price adjustments over time. This allows users to continue their access without interruption, ensuring ongoing integration with the server’s features.

Absolute Date Example

Trial Use: Skycapp03 provides a trial use option for $1,000 upon initial licensing. This license is valid until a specified absolute date (01-01-2025), such as the end of a calendar year or a defined testing period. It also has a limited use capability of 10 total uses.
