maxmind already does something like this, although you're just buying credits. twilio does the same thing. Other mail services i've used do credits as well.

maxmind already does something like this, although you're just buying credits. twilio does the same thing. Other mail services i've used do credits as well. For my projects/demos/etc - $20/year is where I'm at with twilio (which has led to clients using it and spending hundreds or thousands more, minimum).
With maxmind, $10/year might be all that I use (considering 1000 calls might only be $1 charge).
