Zyxel Networks introduces Pay as You Go billing on Circle, bringing usage-based flexibility to MSPs and SMBs

HSINCHU, Taiwan, September 1, 2025—Zyxel Networks, a leader in delivering secure and AI-powered cloud networking solutions, today announced the launch of a new Pay as You Go (PAYG) online payment option on its subscription management platform, Circle. Designed to meet the evolving needs of managed service providers (MSPs) and small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs), the new billing model brings flexibility and scalability to how partners manage and grow their businesses together with Zyxel Networks.

Zyxel Networks’ Circle is a centralized, partner-focused platform which simplifies and streamlines license purchasing, renewal, and management. For smaller businesses with tighter budgets or fluctuating workloads, or larger partners managing complex environments with shifting requirements, the new PAYG option offers partners a monthly usage-based billing model that reflects actual consumption per organization. Whether they manage a single site or hundreds, partners are only charged for what they’ve used, with no hidden fees, surcharges, or minimum commitments. A detailed usage report is generated monthly, giving partners full transparency into their licensing costs.

Complete control

Enabling PAYG takes just a few clicks within the Circle interface, making the process seamless. There is no need for support tickets or back-and-forth with account teams. For partners managing multiple organizations or business units, PAYG can be selectively applied on a per-organization basis, with the option to activate or stop at any given time. Network devices can be flexibly moved across organizations, offering even more operational control.

The benefits are immediate, with smaller partners gaining the agility to bid for new projects without the burden of upfront capital. They can also reclaim valuable time by moving away from manual annual renewals.

Comprehensive payment options

For MSPs and enterprises, PAYG enables smoother transitions from CapEx to OpEx, improves cash flow and supports scalable network-as-a-service (NaaS) offerings—all powered by Zyxel Networks’ cloud-managed Nebula ecosystem.

“Circle now offers the most comprehensive payment options in the industry, including PAYG, monthly, and annual billing. This includes support for both online and offline transactions,” said Inchen Lin, AVP of Zyxel Networks’ Intelligence Cloud Center. “We are launching a new PAYG model in direct response to partner feedback and have made license management as simple, flexible and scalable as our technology. This is about removing the entry barriers and giving our partners the tools and payment options they need to grow on their terms.”

The PAYG option is available globally through the Circle platform for Nebula cloud-managed devices. For more information, visit https://community.zyxel.com/en/discussion/29606
