# Purchasing Savings Plans
<a name="sp-purchase"></a>

You can access Savings Plans in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console. You can add your selection to your Savings Plans cart from the **Recommendations** page or from the **Purchase Savings Plans** page. We suggest that you use the **Recommendations** page to see Savings Plans recommendations based on your past usage. You can also use **Purchase Analyzer** to estimate the cost, coverage, and utilization impact of your next Savings Plan purchase.

**Note**  
When you use billing transfer, you can purchase Savings Plans and Reserved Instances only in the AWS Organizations where they apply. Savings Plans and Reserved Instances can't be shared outside the purchasing organization. The account that purchases Savings Plans and Reserved Instances is responsible for the purchase, even when another account pays their bill.
