If your business offers standard pricing packages, you can flexibly model plans using prices in Sequence. Products help you track provisioning, and prices track the different variations in pricing. Prices define the unit cost, model, currency, billing frequency and billing type. Prices act as core building blocks in Sequence. When you’re creating a new billing schedule for a customer, you will reference the PriceId of each Price you want to bill them for. Prices can be reused across customers. In a sales-led flow, prices will often be unique to customers, since each price may have undergone custom adjustments. In a self-serve flow, prices are reused by customers.

Products and Prices in Sequence

In Sequence, Amara maintain two products, one for Platform access and one for AI add-on. Amara use products to determine what features a customer should be provisioned to. In the below example, each product contains multiple priceIds. In addition to the standard list prices used for Amara’s self-serve plans, there are other price variants that are the result of custom sales deals. Products:
  • Platform access
    • Prices:
      • A: £500 per month, in arrears (list price)
      • B: £825 per month, in arrears (price variant)
      • C: £650 per month, in arrears (price variant)
      • D: £400 per month, in arrears (price variant)
  • AI add-on
    • Prices:
      • X: 0-1000 included @ £250; $0.45 overage fee (list price)
