# App Pricing: more plans, no-charge plan testing, and negative and fractional App Events

We’ve made several updates to App Pricing:

**Increased plan limits:** You can now create up to 8 public plans (previously 4) and 15 private plans (previously 10) per app.

**No-charge plan testing:** Test app billing flows without generating real charges:

* During app review, reviewers can now select any of your existing plans, so you no longer need to create a dedicated test plan.
* In development stores, you can install your own apps and subscribe to any plan at no cost.
* Mark a plan as free to let other partners and developers install your app and test that plan in their own development stores.

**Additional App Events support:** The App Events API now accepts:

* Negative values, to adjust or credit previously reported event usage
* Fractional values, such as `1.5`

Previously, event values were limited to whole numbers greater than 0.
