Cada servicio tiene su precios.
‘Precio’ stays singular because it refers to the price of each individual service.

When a possessive adjective (su) is used, the article is omitted.
Cada servicio tienen su precio.
The verb must agree with the singular noun ‘servicio’, so it is ‘tiene’, not ‘tienen’.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries it’s common to discuss prices per service rather than a single flat fee. Saying ‘Cada servicio tiene su precio’ can sound professional and transparent. The phrase can also be used metaphorically, similar to the English ‘Everything has a price’, to remind someone that nothing is truly free.
