Overview
Analyzes market positioning and creates optimized pricing strategies with tiers, anchoring, and packaging.
Workflow
Step 1: Understand the Context
- Product/service: What are you pricing?
- Current price: (if existing)
- Competitors: What do alternatives cost?
- Costs: What does it cost you to deliver?
- Value delivered: What's the ROI for the customer?
- Target customer: Who's buying and what's their budget?
Step 2: Analyze Pricing Models
| Model | Best For | Pros | Cons |
|---|
| One-time | Products, templates | Simple, high AOV | No recurring revenue |
| Subscription | SaaS, ongoing services | Predictable revenue | Churn risk |
| Tiered | Different segments | Captures more market | Complex to manage |
| Usage-based | API, volume services | Scales with value | Unpredictable revenue |
| Value-based | Consulting, high-ticket | Highest margins | Harder to sell |
| Freemium | Growth-focused | Low friction | Conversion challenge |
Step 3: Design the Pricing
