The value metric is what scales price with customer value.
| Metric | Best For |
|---|---|
| Per user | Collaboration tools |
| Per usage | APIs, infrastructure |
| Per record/contact | CRMs, email |
| Flat fee | Simple products |
| Revenue share | Marketplaces |
As customers get more value, do they naturally pay more?
If not → metric is misaligned.
| Count | When to Use |
|---|---|
| 2 | Simple segmentation |
| 3 | Default (Good / Better / Best) |
| 4+ | Broad market, careful UX |
Good
Better (Anchor)
