SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Technical founders often anchor pricing to cost instead of customer value, leaving revenue on the table or choosing the wrong pricing model for their product. This Skill provides structured frameworks for pricing technical products, from choosing between seat-based and usage-based models to running enterprise pricing conversations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pricing Model Selection: Decision trees for choosing seat-based, usage-based, outcome-based, or hybrid pricing based on usage variance and value scaling.
  • Freemium Threshold Design: Frameworks for setting free tier limits at the production boundary so hobbyists stay free while production users convert.
  • Enterprise Pricing Conversations: Guidance on deployment, support, and compliance pricing variables, plus anchoring to value before presenting numbers.
  • Use Case: A developer platform charging $15K/year to enterprises saving $200K in engineering time can use the value ratio framework to justify raising prices to $45K with added features like SSO and audit logs.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to evaluate whether your current SaaS pricing is underpriced using the value ratio framework and recommend a pricing model.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between usage-based and seat-based pricing?

Choose usage-based pricing when usage varies more than 5x between customers and marginal cost is meaningful. Choose seat-based pricing when value scales with team size and usage is uniform. A hybrid of platform fee plus usage variable often works best.

How do I know if my SaaS product is underpriced?

Calculate the value ratio by dividing the customer's alternative cost by your price. A ratio above 5x means you are underpriced, while 3-5x is healthy. Compare against the cost of building in-house or manual processes, not competitor prices.

Where should I set my freemium tier limit for a developer tool?

Set the free tier limit just below where production usage starts, so hobbyists and learners stay free while production users hit the limit and convert. Generosity should target learners, not production workloads.

Should I publish enterprise pricing on my website?

No, publishing enterprise pricing creates a ceiling that negotiations only move down from. Keep enterprise pricing as a conversation, anchor to customer value first, and present three tiered options.

When is the right time to raise prices without losing customers?

Raise prices when your value ratio exceeds 5x, win rates are above 40%, and customers have not pushed back on pricing recently. Grandfather existing customers for 12-24 months and add value to justify the increase.
