Plans represent a pricing and billing plan for end-customers who consume your products or services. They are derived from Plan Templates. Pricing is the process of configuring the exact pricing structure you want to apply for charging end-customer Accounts that are placed on your Product Plans. You can create either usage-based or unit-based pricing for your Product Plans:

• Use Aggregations of metered usage data as the pricing metrics to apply usage-based pricing.
• Use Counters for unit quantities on Accounts as the pricing metrics to apply unit-based pricing.
• Combine usage-based and unit-based pricing for a single Plan to implement hybrid pricing for a product or service you offer to customers.
