Hi 👋 I'm not quite sure I'm grasping the question. Subscriptions in Stripe are based on Price objects, and you can create as many Price objects as you need to represent everything you're selling.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by a variable price? Like the price is going to change month to month, to some unknown unpredictable amount?

Yes, that's why I'm asking my question. Let me rephrase: I would like to have a single plan with a variable price (not defined in advance on stripe). This price will be set via the user on the front.
for example a monthly subscription for which the user can choose the price themselves via a slider on the front.

Let's take a step back real quick. Are you planning on building your own UI for this or hoping to use a prebuilt checkout UI that we offer?

My own interface. I am a web developer in an agency. We are launching a web host soon with subscriptions through Stripe. We have a very specific need in terms of subscriptions.
We can have a subscription with at least 10 to 20 different prices or more. Currently we have created a subscription on Stripe with a price for each. But we find it very heavy. That's why I'm asking if there is a way to add a price not defined in advance on Stripe which can vary depending on the user's choices on the front side. For example for our hoster: depending on the CPU, server power, professional mailboxes, backups etc, etc the price will be different

Gotcha, I think you're looking for price_data then:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items-price_data
it allows you to provide price data adhoc as you're creating the Subscription, and will automatically create a Price for that.
