Add-ons

Add-ons are additional modules or packages that can be assigned to companies in addition to a plan. Companies can have any number of add-ons. For a step-by-step guide about creating add-ons in Schematic, click here.

There are a number of scenarios where you may want to offer add-ons, and the most common scenario is that you sell additional functionality that increases the value of your core plan (e.g. Zoom Workplace).

Usage Based Add-ons

Add-ons can add usage-based entitlements, both trait-based or event-based. When adding an usage-based entitlement to an add-on, the entitlement can either introduce a brand new entitlement or override an existing entitlement on the plan.

• Introducing a new entitlement: A plan currently does not allow any AI searches, but an add-on can purchased to allow AI searches on a pay as you go basis.
• Overriding an existing entitlement: A plan currently allows 100 AI searches per month, and an add-on can purchased to allow unlimited AI searches per month.

When adding a usage-based entitlement to an add-on, it can be configured to support 3 different pricing models:

1. Included in plan: The add-on will be unlimited, meaning the company can use the feature as much as they want.
2. Pay as you go: The company will be charged per unit of usage.
3. Overage: The first X units of usage are included in the base price of the add-on, and then charged per unit of usage over the limit.

For more information about these pricing models, see Usage Based Billing — the priced entitlements supported by add-ons work the same for add-ons and plans.
