​
Differences in billing

When billing through Stripe, Metoro charges per node-minute, each hour the total number of node minutes is reported to Stripe. At the end of the billing cycle, Stripe charges your card at for the total number of accrued node minutes throughout the month. When billing through AWS Marketplace, Metoro charges per node-hour due to a limitation in AWS Marketplace, reported every hour. The number of node hours is rounded down to nearest hour. So in the case of 1.1 node hours, Metoro will charge for only 1 node hour.
