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.
