When creating pricing plans in Lynk Tower, one of the most important decisions is choosing the right pricing type. The system offers two options—Duration-Based and Session-Based—each designed for different billing models.
Understanding how these two types work helps you structure your pricing based on how your classes are conducted.
What is Duration-Based Pricing?
Duration-Based pricing charges students for a fixed period of time, regardless of the number of sessions conducted within that period.
This is commonly used for subscriptions like monthly or yearly plans.
Duration Unit Options
While setting up a duration-based plan, you can choose from:
Monthly
Quarterly
Half-Yearly
Yearly
Custom Duration
This flexibility allows you to define pricing based on your program structure.
How It Works
The student pays for a time period
They can attend all sessions scheduled within that duration
Pricing is not tied to the number of classes
This model is ideal for:
Ongoing coaching programs
Subscription-based academies
Regular weekly classes
What is Session-Based Pricing?
Session-Based pricing charges students based on a fixed number of classes or sessions.
Instead of paying for time, the student purchases a package of sessions.
Number of Classes
While creating a session-based plan, you define:
The total number of sessions included
Example: 8 classes, 10 sessions, 12 sessions
This clearly sets how many classes the student can attend.
Conduction-Based Subscription Option
Session-based plans also include an additional setting:
Conduction-Based Subscription
This option determines how session credits are used.
Enabled (ON):
Session credits are deducted for every class conducted, regardless of whether the student attends.
Disabled (OFF):
Session credits are deducted only when the student attends the class.
You can toggle this option based on how you want to manage attendance and billing.
How It Works
The student purchases a fixed number of sessions
Credits are deducted as classes are conducted or attended (based on your setting)
Once all sessions are used, the plan is completed
This model is ideal for:
Flexible learning schedules
Skill-based or short-term programs
Packages like trial packs or class bundles
Key Difference Between Duration and Session-Based Pricing
Duration-Based | Session-Based |
Based on time period | Based on number of classes |
Unlimited sessions within the duration | Limited session credits |
Fixed subscription cycle | Flexible usage depending on attendance or conduction |
Choosing the Right Pricing Type
Use Duration-Based pricing when:
You run regular, ongoing classes
You want a subscription model
Attendance varies but access remains continuous
Use Session-Based pricing when:
You offer class packages
You want to limit the number of sessions
You need flexible usage tracking
Conclusion
In Lynk Tower, choosing between Duration-Based and Session-Based pricing depends on how your classes are structured. Duration-based plans focus on time-bound access, while session-based plans are built around a fixed number of classes with optional conduction-based tracking. Selecting the right type helps you align your pricing with your teaching model and student expectations.
