# Configure hybrid pricing

Stigg is the first and only platform to offer advanced metering *and* entitlements out of the box, giving SaaS companies everything they need to build powerful, flexible hybrid pricing models.

Whether you’re moving beyond flat fees, experimenting with usage-based monetization, or combining both in a single plan, this guide walks you through how to set up hybrid pricing in just a few steps with no custom code or complex billing logic required.

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.

## Next Steps

Once your hybrid pricing model is live, you can:

* Embed dynamic paywalls and customer portals that auto-update as your plans evolve
* Track usage and billing in real-time through Stigg’s dashboard and APIs
* Experiment with tiered, volume, or graduated pricing models, all in one platform

Stigg gives you the tools to launch, scale, and iterate on pricing with zero code changes.
