Startup credits
See the cost behind the credit
A cloud credit can make the cash bill look small while the service still has a real cost. Economico records the gross expense, credit applied and amount left to pay.
Free today can become a bill tomorrow
Founders use cloud and software credits while learning what their business costs to run. The risk is treating a discounted payment as the cost itself. When credits run down, the next invoice can look like a surprise. Recording the underlying expense separately keeps that cost visible.
Record the allowance and each draw
Record the credit with the vendor's contract, including which bills it covers and when it expires. When your agent records a bill it applies to, Economico records the full cost, the credit used and what is left to pay, so the expense line shows what the service really cost. The reports show how much credit has been used and how much remains under the terms you entered.
Record this vendor bill against our documented credit. Show the gross cost, credit draw, amount still due and remaining credit balance.
Keep the terms current
Credits must be declared with their actual terms and supported by the provider's record. Economico does not log into AWS or another vendor to discover balances, warn you before expiry or check an external credit statement automatically. Verify the provider's balance when a decision depends on it.
