Comparing reseller packages by usable inventory

Convert each package into the same intended mix of accounts using its own written consumption rules. Compare the resulting usable inventory, total cost and conditions rather than comparing bare credit numbers from different suppliers.

Illustrated guide: Comparing reseller packages by usable inventory
How can I compare two credit packages fairly?

Convert each package into the same intended mix of accounts using its own written consumption rules. Compare the resulting usable inventory, total cost and conditions rather than comparing bare credit numbers from different suppliers.

Choose a realistic product mix

List the terms and connection allowances customers actually request. If most purchases are renewals of a particular term, use that mix instead of a theoretical package that nobody buys. Keep separate calculations for products with different credit consumption.

Normalise the comparison

A hundred credits from one system are not necessarily equivalent to a hundred from another. Calculate how many of your chosen products each balance can create, leaving any remainder visible. Include expiry, minimum top-ups and permissions where those conditions affect practical use.

Keep uncertainty visible

If a supplier has not supplied a conversion rule, mark that part of the comparison unresolved. Do not fill the gap with a competitor’s number. At 8K IPTV, request a written quote and consumption table for the selected credit package before producing a purchase comparison.

Questions about this topic

Is cost per credit enough?
Only when credits have comparable consumption rules and conditions. Otherwise it can produce a misleading ranking.
Should unused remainders disappear from the calculation?
No. Show them separately so the comparison reflects the products you can actually create.
How should I record a missing rule?
Mark it unresolved and identify the question needed to complete the comparison. Leaving uncertainty visible is more useful than inserting a convenient estimate that later appears to be a confirmed supplier term.
