This article explores different pricing models for SaaS products. When preparing your SaaS offering for AWS Marketplace, you must select a pricing model from the options listed below. This choice will determine the purchasing process for buyers.

## SaaS pricing models

SaaS offers are structured around three pricing models: SaaS subscriptions, SaaS contracts, SaaS contracts with pay-as-you-go.

| Pricing model | Description |
| --- | --- |
| SaaS subscriptions (Usage Based) | Buyers are charged a per-unit price for their hourly usage of your product. AWS Marketplace calculates usage based on the metering records you provide. For more information, see [Pricing for SaaS subscriptions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/saas-subscriptions.html). |
| SaaS contracts (Contract-based pricing) | Buyers are either billed in advance for the use of your software, or you can offer them a flexible payment schedule. Customers can also pay for additional usage above their contract. For more information, see [Pricing for SaaS contracts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/saas-contracts.html). |
| SaaS contracts with pay-as-you-go (Contract with consumption) | Combines contract-based pricing and usage-based pricing. Buyers are charged an additional per-unit price for their hourly usage on top of the contract price.For more information, see [Pricing for SaaS contracts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/saas-contracts.html). |
