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:
- Included in plan: The add on will be unlimited, meaning the company can use the feature as much as they want.
- Pay as you go: The company will be charged per unit of usage.
- 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.
