# Subscription pricing plans

A new way to pay for Stripe Billing and Stripe Tax.

Stripe customers can pay for Stripe [Billing](https://stripe.com/billing/pricing) and [Tax](https://stripe.com/tax/pricing) with a subscription-based plan. Subscription-based plans allow you to choose how you pay for these products: pay as you go for more flexibility, or choose a subscription plan for more predictable monthly costs. You can sign up for a subscription-based plan from the [Your plans](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/plans) page in the Stripe Dashboard.

## How Stripe subscription plans work

Subscription-based plans provide more predictable monthly costs as well as potential discounts versus pay-as-you-go plans. To sign up for a subscription plan:

1. Select the monthly product usage entitlement that’s appropriate for your business.
2. Sign up for an annual contract that’s paid monthly.
3. At the start of each subscription month, pay a subscription fee that covers your selected product entitlement. If applicable, at the end of each month, pay an overage fee for any product usage beyond your selected amount. Fees are automatically deducted from your Stripe balance.
