To design a SaaS pricing structure, you map product features to value metrics that scale with customer usage, then validate price points using willingness-to-pay data and competitor analysis to maximize revenue.

The Van Westendorp method is a pricing sensitivity analyzer that asks users to rate prices as too cheap, cheap, expensive, or too expensive, yielding optimal price ranges to inform your tier structures and monetization strategy.

Building a Good/Better/Best tiering framework involves segmenting your market, mapping features to value metrics per segment, and packaging them into progressively higher tiers to maximize conversions and customer lifetime value.

Yes, you can apply this approach to SMB and mid-market SaaS segments by running specific market segmentation and willingness-to-pay analyses to define distinct packaging and pricing for each target audience.

The best way to select value metrics is to identify the specific usage units that grow as the customer derives more value from the product, then map your features directly to those scaling metrics for packaging.

Planning pricing experiments and rollout requires defining your new tier structures, setting up tests to validate price sensitivity across segments, and establishing a deployment schedule to launch the monetization changes.
