# Simplify Your SaaS Billing Logic with Flexible Plans in Meteroid

Donatien Dubois

Feb 3, 2026

Managing how customers are billed gets complex fast as your business scales. That's where [Plans in Meteroid](https://docs.meteroid.com/billing/managing-plans) 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](/content/glossary/usage-based-billing/index.html).

### 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.

## Why flexible plans matter
