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

Common Strategies

Tiered Offerings

Create multiple plans for market segmentation: Hobbyist Plan
  • Low per-unit costs
  • Usage caps
  • Community support
Professional Plan
  • Better rates
  • Higher limits
  • Email support
Enterprise Plan
  • Volume discounts
  • Unlimited usage options
  • Dedicated support

Customer-Specific Plans

For sales-led businesses, create custom plans per deal:
  • “Acme Corp - Annual 2024”
  • “TechCo - Q1 Pilot”
  • “StartupX - Special Terms”
Each plan reflects negotiated pricing.

Best Practices

Clear naming. Use descriptive names that indicate target customer and terms. Logical progression. Each tier should offer clear value over the previous. Predictable costs. Help customers estimate their bills easily. Room to grow. Always have an upgrade path available.

Next Steps

With plans created, you need to:
  1. Define prices for each metric in the plan
  2. Create subscriptions to connect customers to plans
  3. Track usage to generate bills
