# Services without APIs

Certain services may not be fully REST API-based. Their usage may involve other technologies, like a web UI, a mobile app, webhooks, SDKs or other software components. The service may also use other API protocols, e.g. GraphQL or SOAP. It may be that the service is REST API based but some parts are not fully compatible with apinity XPlore yet.

For such services, you can create **Application Plans** by selecting the corresponding Plan Type during the [plan setup](https://docs.apinity.io/concepts/pages/9kYEWHYVB1HHM6XvmXOR#addaplan-step2.1servicetype).

Application plans have limited configuration, hiding the REST API related technical setup, and related transactional pricing and limits.&#x20;

You may want to combine an Application Plan later with API Plans, if parts of your service can be used via REST API, and you want to benefit from the API management and quality-of-life features apinity XPlore offers.

You can read more about this topic in our article [**Add a Plan**](/step-by-step/provide-a-service-on-the-marketplace/add-a-plan.md).
