# Pricing rules You can create pricing rules in Amazon Billing Conductor to customize your billing rates across your billing groups. Pricing rules can be global, service-specific, billing entity-specific, or SKU-specific in scope. You can use pricing rules to apply a discount or markup for each respective scope. Scopes don't overlap. Scopes are applied from most to least granular when pricing rules with different scopes are contained within a single pricing plan. For global pricing rules, you can also choose to deactivate or active `Always Free Tier` rates. Pricing rules with [Always Free Tier](https://www.amazonaws.cn/free/) deactivated defaults to the first paid tier for the usage type or operation. By default, a payer account in with admin permissions can create pricing rules. It takes up to 24 hours after you apply a pricing rule to a billing group to see the custom rates for your billing group reflected. A single pricing plan can be applied to multiple billing groups. **Contents** + [Creating pricing rules](create-pricingrule-abc.md) + [Viewing the pricing rule table](table-pricingrule.md)
