1. Monthly SaaS Subscriptions - Tiered by airline size:

• Bronze: $1,299/month - regional carriers (up to 500,000 passengers/year)
• Gold: $2,599/month — mid-to-large operators (unlimited passengers), includes AI extraordinary-case handling, multi-currency payouts, and priority SLA

2. Pay-Per-Flight Option - $0.07 per passenger processed — designed for low-cost carriers like Ryanair who prefer pay-as-you-go over a monthly commitment.

3. White-Label Licensing - Fixed fee for airports and travel platforms to embed Autocomp under their own brand.

4. Add-On-Features - Multi-currency support, AI claims, and advanced analytics dashboards priced individually
