# SaaS products through AWS Marketplace
For software as a service (SaaS) products, you subscribe to products through AWS Marketplace, but you access the product in the software seller's environment.
AWS Marketplace offers the following pricing models:
+ [Subscribing with SaaS usage-based subscriptions](saas-subscriptions.md)
+ [Subscribing with SaaS upfront commitments](buyer-saas-contracts.md)
+ [Subscribing to SaaS free trials](saas-free-trials.md)
For products that offer the [Quick Launch option](quick-launch.md#saas-quick-launch), you can configure, deploy, and launch your software all at once.
# Subscribing with SaaS usage-based subscriptions
With SaaS usage-based subscriptions, the software seller tracks your usage, and you only pay for what you use. This pay-as-you-go model is similar to many AWS services. Billing for your usage of a SaaS product is managed through your AWS bill.
**To subscribe using the SaaS usage-based subscription**
1. On the product detail page, choose **View purchase options** to start the subscription process.
1. If the product has multiple offer types, you can select a **Private offer** or **Public offer**.
**Note**
To request a private offer from the seller, click **Request a private offer** on the product details page. You can also view available private offers for this product on the purchase page or navigate to the private link the seller provides you.
1. If the product has multiple available offers, you can choose an offer from the **Available offers** dropdown list.
1. Review the **Pricing dimensions** that you will be billed for and the price for each dimension. You can search for a specific dimension by typing its name in the search bar above the pricing. Price dimensions are displayed in your [preferred currency](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/buyerguide/buyer-paying-for-products.html).
1. Click **Download EULA** to review the terms and conditions for this offer.
1. Review the subscription, and choose **Accept** on the subscription page to create an active subscription.
**Note**
Some products offer a Quick Launch deployment option, which reduces the time and resources that are required to configure, deploy, and launch software. These products are identified using a Quick Launch badge. For more information, see [Launching SaaS products with Quick Launch](quick-launch.md#saas-quick-launch).
1. Go to [Marketplace subscriptions](https://console.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/home?region=us-east-1#/subscriptions) page to review your current subscriptions.
# Subscribing with SaaS upfront commitments
Some companies make SaaS contracts available upfront for purchase through AWS Marketplace. With this option, you can purchase discrete quantities of licenses or data ingest for these products. Then, you can bill these products, in advance, through your AWS account. For example, you might purchase 10 user access licenses for a year, or you might purchase 10 GB of data ingest per day for a year.
When you make the purchase, you're directed to the product’s website for account setup and configuration, unless Quick Launch is enabled. The usage charges then appear on your regular AWS account billing report.
**Note**
For information about the Quick Launch experience, see [Launching SaaS products with Quick Launch](quick-launch.md#saas-quick-launch).
**To subscribe with a SaaS contract**
1. On the product detail page, choose **View purchase options** to start the subscription process. You can choose the quantities or units that you want, length of subscription (if multiple options are available), and automatic renewal.
1. After you have made your selections, choose **Subscribe**.
1. Choose **Set Up Your Account**, which takes you to the company’s website. While your account is being configured and the payment is being verified, you will see that your contract is pending on the AWS Marketplace product details page.
**Note**
Some products offer a Quick Launch deployment option, which reduces the time and resources that are required to configure, deploy, and launch software. These products are identified using a Quick Launch badge. For more information, see [Launching SaaS products with Quick Launch](quick-launch.md#saas-quick-launch).
After configuration is complete, a link to set up your account is available on the product page. The software appears under **Your Marketplace Software** when you're signed in to your AWS Marketplace account. You can now start using the software. If you don't complete the setup process for your account, you are prompted to do so when you revisit that product in AWS Marketplace.
Access the software subscription from the software company’s website using the account you created on their website. You can also find website links for software subscriptions that you purchased through AWS Marketplace under **Your Marketplace Software** when you're signed in to your AWS Marketplace account.
# Subscribing to SaaS free trials
Some vendors offer free trials for their SaaS products through AWS Marketplace for evaluation purposes. You can search through SaaS products in AWS Marketplace and filter results to show only those with free trials. Search results indicate which products offer free trials. All free trial products display the **Free trial** badge next to the product logo. On the product procurement page, you can find the duration of the free trial period and how much free software usage is included in the trial.
During the free trial, or after the free trial expires, you can make a purchase decision by negotiating a private offer or subscribing to a public offer. SaaS free trials won't automatically convert into paid agreements. If you no longer want the free trial, you can let the free trial expire.
You can view your subscriptions by selecting **Manage subscriptions** from the AWS Marketplace console.
**Note**
Each AWS account is only eligible for one free trial per product.

# Modifying an existing public contract

You can purchase additional licenses within the entitlement of the same offer in your current contract. However, you can't reduce the entitlement counts purchased in the contract. You can also cancel the automatic subscription renewal if the seller has enabled this option. For information about modifying private offers, see [Modifying or unsubscribing from a private offer in AWS Marketplace](buyer-private-offers-modifying.md).
