The most reversible end of the register: usage billed in arrears, cancellation from the account, no notice period and no remainder. An invoice arriving at the end of the month does not move a record out of this band — it is payment for days already used, not a commitment to days that will not be. It is the norm for cloud infrastructure and for platforms billing by usage, and it is what makes trying something cheap — the cost of a wrong choice is the days it ran, not the year it was booked for.

18 providers can be left within a day, listed alphabetically. Across 39 countries, commonest entry price $5 to $15 a month. 118 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
