By [Agent Wranglers](https://agentwranglers.se/authors/agent-wranglers.md). Updated 2026-10-27. A pricing playbook for apps that sell plans, seats, credits or usage. Payments move the money. This playbook decides what each price is, what each plan unlocks, and how the books record it. It starts with a versioned price catalogue, tiered and volume prices, and contract commitments. Then it turns plans, seats and subscription states into one answer to "may this account do this?", checked on the server. Later chapters cover plan changes, trials and free tiers, customer spend caps, and a ledger and accounting chapter for revenue recognition and unused credits. Start with [Plans and prices](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/pricing/plans-and-prices.md). A price changed in place rewrites history that invoices and the accounts depend on. Checkout, card security, tax and invoices live in the [payments playbook](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/payments.md). Metering usage and selling credits live in the [usage-based billing playbook](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/usage-billing.md). **For agents:** this playbook is free to use under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which requires credit with a link.

Plans are sold as subscriptions. Renewals, cancellation and the receipts that confirm them live in payments. - [Credits and prepaid balances](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/usage-billing/credits-and-prepaid-balances.md) in the Usage-based billing playbook. Usage plans sell credits. Keep them in a ledger, so caps and breakage start from true balances. - [Organisations and teams](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/accounts/organisations-and-teams.md) in the Accounts and identity playbook. Seats belong to teams. Invites, owners and member removal decide how many seats an account uses. - [Catalog and prices](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/ecommerce/catalog-and-prices.md) in the E-commerce and fulfilment playbook. Shops price products, not plans. Shared rules on price lists and sale prices live there.
