SaaS product pricing in AWS Marketplace
After a buyer purchases your software as a service (SaaS) product on AWS Marketplace, AWS Marketplace provides you with their billing identiļ¬er. You use the billing identifier to call the AWS Marketplace Entitlement Service and the AWS Marketplace Metering Service. Then, customers access the product in your AWS environment or through a virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint connection that you create. This topic provides a list of SaaS pricing models for AWS Marketplace.
Note
All SaaS pricing models support free trials. For more information, see SaaS free trials.
| Pricing model | Description |
|---|---|
| SaaS subscriptions | A pay-as-you-go model where we bill buyers for their hourly usage of your SaaS product. For more information, see Pricing for SaaS subscriptions. |
| SaaS contracts | 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 | Buyers are either billed in advance for the use of your software, or you can offer them a flexible payment schedule. Buyers are also billed an additional metered rate for usage on top of the contract price. For more information, see Pricing for SaaS contracts. |
Note
Once you create your listing and publish it to limited, you can't change the pricing model.
To make your SaaS product available on AWS Marketplace, decide whether you want to offer the SaaS subscriptions pricing model or the SaaS contracts pricing model.
