This guide walks you through how to set up hybrid pricing in just a few steps:
  • Define your product and pricing structure
  • Set up metered features and entitlements
  • Add base and usage-based charges
  • Monitor usage in real time

​
Step 1: Create a product

Start by defining the product to which the hybrid pricing model applies.
  1. Go to Product catalog → Products.
  2. Click New product.
  3. Enter a product name, Id and description.
  4. Select Single active subscription for standard hybrid pricing with base and usage charges under a single plan.
  5. Click Create.

​
Step 2: Define features and entitlements

Entitlements allow you to control access to gated functionality in your product.
  1. Go to Features.
  2. Click Create feature.
  3. For metered features, configure:
    • Meter using raw events
    • Optionally, add filters (e.g., data center, customer type)
    • Define aggregation logic (e.g., count, sum, unique values)
  4. Go to Plans.
  5. Create a plan.
  6. Create an entitlement and assign the relevant features to it.

​
Step 3: Set Price

  1. Go to Plans.
  2. Navigate to the Price section under your product.
  3. Set the plan type and billing period.
  4. Define a base charge (fixed recurring fee).
  5. Click Add usage-based charge and select the metered feature you created previously.
  6. Choose Volume as the pricing model.
  7. Define the following:
    • First unit
    • Last unit
    • Unit price
    • Flat fee (optional)

​
Step 4: Monitor Usage

  1. Go to Feature inspector.
  2. Select the metered feature.
  3. View real-time usage data and verify aggregation.
