A [Price](/business/nouns/price) is what an [Offer](/business/nouns/offer) costs: one time, monthly, per seat or metered. Your [Startup](/business/nouns/startup) is seller of record, and Stripe Tax computes tax on every charge.

| Model | Ask | On Stripe |
| --- | --- | --- |
| One time | "Charge $500 for setup." | `Checkout Session` |
| Monthly or yearly [Subscription](/business/nouns/subscription) | "Charge $29 a month." | `Subscription` |
| Per seat | "Charge $10 per member." | `Subscription Item` quantity |
| Metered by a [Meter](/business/nouns/meter) | "Charge a cent per call." | `Billing Meter` |
| Per outcome, on an [Invoice](/business/nouns/invoice) | "Charge $40 per renewal signed." | `Invoice Item` |
