Hello, I want to ask about the billing structure of Ory. Is billing workspace based or project based? If we want to use Ory to support authentication for multiple 3rd parties and bill them separately, is there a way to do that in 1 workspace or 1 project? Or we would have to create 1 workspace/project for each tenant? Our original plan is to have 1 project for machine-2-machine, 1 for user-based. Then all the tenants m2m will be inside m2m project, all tenants users will be inside user-based project. But now we are not sure how we will bill them separately. Hoping to get some insight on this 🙏.

Its workspace based, but you get a breakdown of the billing per project in your workspace. So you get only one bill but its split up on the bill per project.

Thank you. So for our scenario, is the only way to track a tenant billing is to create a project for each tenant then? If I remember correctly, 1 workspace has only 1 production project, that means 1 workspace for each tenant, correct?

In the growth plan you can buy additional production projects. If you want to bill your customers on usage, you might be interested in our event stream https://www.ory.sh/docs/actions/live-events so you can pipe events to your own data lake, where you can then calculate the actual usage.
