**Definition:** A *Service* is a product or service you offer via the marketplace.&#x20;

The service description introduces the product in general, and the associated *Plans* define the commercial details.

Technical details are captured in the *APIs* section. A plan can have one or more APIs associated with it, and different plans can define different pricing for the same APIs.

Every Workspace on the marketplace can provide and consume unlimited Services.&#x20;
