I wish more SaaS companies followed Slack's "Fair billing" policy[1] where you get charged per actual usage rather than subscribed usage. For example, if you're subscribed for 16 members but 4 of those members took a 1 week vacation each in a particular month, you'll only be charged for 15 members because you only used 15 members worth of member hours in that month[2].
