# Prices

A price says how much a [product](https://docs.monei.com/apis/rest/products-create/) costs and how often it bills. Today every price is `RECURRING`.

Pass a price ID as `priceId` when you [create](https://docs.monei.com/apis/rest/subscriptions-create/) or [update](https://docs.monei.com/apis/rest/subscriptions-update/) a subscription. The subscription copies `unitAmount` (as `amount`), `currency` and `recurring`. A later change to the price never changes a subscription that already exists.

## Prices do not change[​](#prices-do-not-change "Direct link to Prices do not change")

Only `active`, `nickname` and `metadata` can change. To change the amount, the currency or the billing period, create a new price and switch the subscriptions to it.

Prices are never deleted. Set `active` to `false` to archive one. A subscription that already uses an archived price keeps working, but a subscription cannot start from it or switch to it.
