Definition: Assigning expenses to specific outsourcing activities or tasks rather than using monthly fees or retainers. Activity-based pricing ensures firms only pay for actual work performed.
Example: An example of activity-based pricing is accounts payable outsourcing in which clients pay for every invoice processed. The client would pay more during a high-volume month and less during a low-volume month as opposed to a fixed monthly fee or fixed hourly rate.
