Overview
The diagram below outlines the relationship between products, plans, and bricks:
- Each product has one or more plans
- Each plan has a specific offering of entitlements at a certain price point
- Each brick can be reused (added to more than one plan) with distinct pricing for each
Here is an example of an AI company using our architecture to build out their good-better-best pricing.
Note that the "Monthly Active Users" brick is added to two plans, and priced uniquely under each.
What’s a Product?
A product can be thought of as a price book. Within the product, you will create plans and within those plans, bricks can be added.
Products can be activated or deactivated as they are phased in or out of use by your team.
As your sales team begins creating orders in the Salesbricks order builder, they are able to select active products under the product dropdown.

What’s a Plan?
A plan is a specific offering of your software and/or services at a certain price point.
Plans can include no bricks (where pricing is set for the entire plan), a single brick, or many bricks. Each plan variation can be targeted toward a segment of your customers.
As your customers develop additional depth with your products or require additional features, it’s extremely easy to upsell them to a higher plan within Salesbricks.

What’s a Brick?
A brick is the lowest-level data object within your SaaS transaction, where pricing is assigned and represents the items that you are interested in keeping track of in your SaaS inventory.
