# Creating a service plan

1. Log in to the [Marketplace partner dashboard](https://partners.yandex.cloud/).
1. Go to the product that you want to add a new [service plan](../concepts/tariff.md) for.
1. In the **Pricing plan** tab, click **Create pricing plan**. If you do not see the **Create pricing plan** button, it means your application for the product has not been approved yet. You can find the details and deadlines under **Ticket**.
1. In the window that opens, enter the name of the service plan and select the pricing policy. Different policies are available for different types of products.

   * _Free_: The product license is provided free of charge.
   * _PAYG_: Billing is per second based on VM usage parameters or application metrics defined by the product publisher. The following metrics are possible:
      * vCPU-hours: Every second of product use is charged at the rate multiplied by the number of vCPUs of the `RUNNING` VM and divided by 3,600.
      * VM-hours: You are charged for product usage on `RUNNING` VMs. The per-second cost is calculated as the specified value divided by 3,600.
      * RAM-hours: You are charged for RAM usage by `RUNNING` VMs. The per-second cost is calculated as the specified value divided by 3,600.
      * Other pricing system: Billing is based on application metrics specified by the publisher. Read more in [Create a custom service plan](create-tariff.md#complex-tariff).
   * _Subscription_: Product subscription.
       To set up a subscription, create a subscription template. To do this, select either the `PAYG` or the `Subscription` service plan and click **Create subscription template** at the bottom of the page.
       If you create a subscription within the `PAYG` service plan, the user will automatically switch to this plan as soon as they unlink the subscription from a resource or as soon as the subscription expires.
       If you create a subscription within the `Subscription` service plan, you will need to set up integration with the [License Manager API](../license-manager/api-ref/index.md). In this case, the product will only be available under the subscription and, when it expires, it will be disabled. You can learn more about subscriptions [here](../concepts/subscription.md).

1. Enter the price for the selected unit of measurement.
1. Click **Create**.

## Create a custom service plan {#complex-tariff}

1. Log in to the [Marketplace partner dashboard](https://partners.yandex.cloud/).
1. Select the product you want to add a custom [service plan](../concepts/tariff.md) for.
1. In the **Pricing plan** tab, click **Create pricing plan**. If you do not see the **Create pricing plan** button, it means your application for the product has not been approved yet. You can find the details and deadlines under **Ticket**.
1. Enter a service plan name.
1. Select `PAYG` ⟶ **Other pricing system**.
1. In the **Service plan description** field, describe the service plan to create:
    * Describe the plan you want to create and we will help set it up if possible.
    * Create a plan on your own: specify the metric for tracking product consumption by users and the unit price.

    Read more in [Billing of products based on publisher metrics](../concepts/api-usage.md).

1. Click **Create**.

The service plan will be submitted for verification and approval. Once the SKU is approved, you will receive an `skuId` for the new service plan. You can use the `skuId` in the API to work with [application usage records](../api-ref/quickstart.md).
