Simplify Your SaaS Billing Logic with Flexible Plans in Meteroid

Donatien Dubois

Managing how customers are billed gets complex fast as your business scales. That's where Plans in Meteroid come in. A Plan determines what a customer can access, how and when they're charged, and what rules apply over the course of their subscription.

Whether you're supporting self-serve signups, trials, enterprise deals, or multi-tiered offerings, Meteroid Plans let you configure all of this in a structured, scalable way, without needing engineering involvement every time your pricing evolves.

What does a Plan mean in Meteroid?

In Meteroid, a Plan is the foundation of a subscription. It defines:

  • Entitlements: What the customer can access (products, features, usage limits)

  • Billing logic: How much and how frequently the customer is billed

  • Lifecycle rules: Trials, renewals, grace periods, and cancellation behavior

Plans are version-controlled. You can iterate and release new pricing without disrupting current subscribers.

Plan types in Meteroid

Meteroid supports three Plan types to match different go-to-market strategies:

Free Plans (product-led growth)

Used for freemium models or limited feature access. Ideal for onboarding or early-stage product adoption.

Standard Plans (product-led growth)

For self-serve upgrades or tiered offerings (e.g., Basic, Pro). These plans can include fixed or usage-based charges.

Custom Plans (sales-led growth)

Built for specific customers or deals. These plans are not publicly listed and can include bespoke pricing, entitlements, or billing terms. Built for enterprise sales.
