Rate Plans are pricing structures that let you price your offering according to consumption or tiers. Rate plans can also serve as a licensing mechanism for limited access. Rate Plans provide you the opportunity to start customers with an inexpensive plan and upsell them as they realize the value of your offering.

Rate Plans are **License based** (quantity based). This is a prepay model that lets customers purchase a quantity of individual licenses, or packages of licenses, the price for which is defined by the Rate Plan. Products are priced according to Pricing Tiers, based on the number of Licenses purchased. When the subscription is first created, the number of Licenses purchased may be entered, and the first Transaction immediately processed.

**Example: Bulk Discount Licensing Plan**

Create a Licensing Plan which charges $295 each for the first 5 seats, and $275 for each additional seat.

* Select **Model: License based**.
* **Charge** customer **per unit**, and set the **Price On** field to the **Each Respective Tier**.
* Leave both the **Min Fee** and the **Max Fee** fields blank.
* Leave **Included Units** blank, and select **Decimal Places** as **0**.
* For Tier 1, enter **Starts at unit: 1\*\*\*\*Rate Price: 295 USD**, and .
* For Tier 2, enter **Starts at unit: 6**(this will update the end unit of the previous tier to 5). Set **Rate Price** to **275 USD**

Rate Plans also allow you to define an included number of items, at no additional charge.

The Rate Plan list page displays by **ID**, **Status**, **Created Date**, **Model**, and **Tiers**. You can search for rate plans by any of these key words or click the **Show Filters** button to refine your search.

To keep a list of Rate Plans, you can export the Rate Plans to a csv file.
