one-time fee
Non-recurring payment
A one-time fee is a charge paid once rather than recurring: There's a one-time fee of $50 to set up the account.
The term appears in contracts and pricing to distinguish single payments from subscriptions, memberships, or installment plans.
Also written as one time fee without the hyphen.
