Skip to main content Plans bundle prices together into offerings for your customers. Each plan represents a specific pricing tier or custom deal.
Core Concepts
A plan is essentially a rate card that:
Belongs to one product
Contains prices for that product’s metrics
Defines billing frequency (monthly, yearly)
Sets the currency (currently USD only)
When customers subscribe, they choose a plan. That plan determines what they pay for each metric they consume.
Plan Structure
Required fields:
Product ID - Which product this plan belongs to
Name - Internal identifier (e.g., “Enterprise Q4 2024”)
Invoice Display Name - What customers see on invoices
Billing Interval - How often to generate statements
Currency - Currently USD only
Prices - List of price objects for metrics
