Turn Your Pricing Description Into a Working Catalog with AI

Describe your plans, limits, and usage rules; review the result; then let Tirdad create the features, meters, prices, entitlements, and usage units behind them.

Updated 2026-08-14

You know what you want to sell: a free plan, Growth at SAR 299 a month, 100 AI reports included, and SAR 0.50 for every report after the limit.

The hard part is turning that sentence into a catalog where every plan, meter, limit, and price agrees. Tirdad's AI pricing setup converts a plain-language description into that working structure. It does not decide your strategy for you. It builds the model you describe, shows it for review, and creates it only after you approve it.

Two ways to begin

Start with your model—not an empty configuration form.

01

Describe your pricing

Write the plans, prices, limits, and usage rules you already have in mind.

02

Choose a template

Start from Railway, Cursor, Gemini, Apollo, or Vapi when the pattern is already familiar.

Both paths become the same structured pricing schema.

Write the commercial promise first

AI can structure a clear decision. It cannot rescue a vague one. Before opening the setup, write down five facts:

DecisionExample
What the customer buysCompleted AI reports
How plans differFree, Growth, and Scale
Recurring priceGrowth at SAR 299 monthly
Included amount100 reports each billing cycle
What happens after the limitSAR 0.50 per additional report

Then describe the model in one compact prompt:

Create Free, Growth, and Scale plans for an AI reporting product. Growth costs SAR 299 monthly and includes 100 completed reports. Additional reports cost SAR 0.50 each. Scale costs SAR 799 monthly, includes 500 reports, and charges SAR 0.35 per additional report.

Name the customer action, not the supplier input. “Completed report” gives the catalog a usable meter. “Tokens, OCR pages, and model calls” exposes your cost stack without explaining what the customer receives.

Use a template when the pattern already exists

Tirdad includes templates for Railway, Cursor, Gemini, Apollo, and Vapi. Each represents a different billing pattern:

  • infrastructure units and a prepaid pool;
  • subscription plus usage overage;
  • packaged token pricing with model filters;
  • action-based usage units;
  • or pure pay-as-you-go pricing.

A template is not a suggestion from AI. It is a known schema that opens directly in the preview. Choose one when its structure matches your product, then treat its names and numbers as an example—not as market evidence for your price.

Know what the description becomes

The preview may look like a set of plan cards, but Tirdad is building a deeper model behind them.

What AI builds

One description becomes the objects billing actually needs.

01

FEATURES + METERS

What customers use and how usage is counted

02

PLANS

How the offer is packaged

03

PRICES

Fixed fees and usage charges

04

ENTITLEMENTS

Included limits and access rules

05

USAGE UNITS

Recurring or one-time units attached to a plan

AI proposes the structure. You still own the commercial promise.

For a metered feature, the model can include the event name and whether each event counts as one unit or contributes a numeric amount. A voice product may sum minutes; an API product may count each request.completed event.

Plans can combine a recurring fee, usage charges, included limits, and plan-funded usage units. The combination matters. A monthly price without a meter cannot bill usage. A meter without a price records activity but does not create revenue. A limit without a clear customer action is difficult to enforce and harder to explain.

Review the preview as a contract

The preview is the decision boundary. Nothing has been added to the catalog yet. Use Back to change the description; use Create only when the model matches the promise you intend to publish.

The review boundary

Nothing is created until you approve the preview.

DESCRIPTION

Change the wording and assumptions

PREVIEW

Inspect the plans as customers will understand them

CREATE

Write the approved model into Tirdad

A polished card can still hide a wrong unit, limit, or billing period. Review the model, not only the design.

Review each plan across these questions:

CheckWhat to verify
PlanName, audience, and billing period
PriceCurrency, recurring amount, and one-time fees
UsageThe unit customers recognize
Included limitThe exact amount and reset period
OverageThe first unit after the limit and its price
Usage unitsAmount, cadence, and conversion rule

Do not approve the preview because the three cards look balanced. A wrong unit can produce a correct-looking card and a wrong invoice.

Approve creation once

After approval, Tirdad creates the catalog in dependency order. Features and meters come first. Plans and prices follow. Entitlements and usage-unit grants are added only when the model needs them.

Creation sequence

From one description to a working catalog.

You
Tirdad setup
AI parser
Product catalog
Describe pricing
Parse custom description
Return structured model
Show plan preview
Approve creation
Create features + meters
Create plans + prices
Add limits + usage units
Catalog ready
Templates skip the AI parser and supply a known schema directly. Creation still waits for your approval.

The setup checks for matching features and plans before creating them, which makes recovery safer if part of the process fails. Still, treat Create as a real catalog change—not a disposable mockup.

When setup finishes, open the product catalog and inspect the created objects. Confirm the event names your application must send, the lookup keys your integration will store, and the plan rules your product will enforce.

Test the catalog with one customer journey

Use a single scenario before announcing the pricing:

  1. Noura subscribes to Growth.
  2. Her first 100 completed reports stay inside the included amount.
  3. Report 101 records one additional unit.
  4. The usage charge uses SAR 0.50.
  5. The invoice explains both the recurring plan and the additional report.

That test connects the attractive plan card to the commercial result. If any step is ambiguous, go back to the feature, meter, price, or entitlement that owns the decision.

Describe the pricing you have decided, review the model Tirdad builds, and create it only when every customer-facing promise has one matching rule in the catalog.
