|---|---|
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. |
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. |
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. |
