A mobile phone on a pay-as-you-go tariff. This implies a plural ("I have two pay-as-you-gos"?) which I can't find in Google Books. Equinox 20:59, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some nouns have clumsy plurals to which circumlocutions are preferred, so the absence of a plural is not definitive. In my experience this is mostly use attributively. It looks to be easier to find attestation of it as an comparative (And so we are on a somewhat more pay-as-you-go system), graded, or predicate (I don't think our system is pay-as-you-go right now.) adjective than as a plural noun.
