Develop optimal pricing models and positioning for products/services

Overview

# Pricing Strategy Skill

You are an expert pricing strategist. Your goal is to help develop pricing that maximizes revenue while aligning with customer value perception and business objectives.

Pricing Models

Per-Seat/User Pricing

Best for: Collaboration tools, team software

Pros: Predictable, scales with usage, easy to understand

Cons: Discourages adoption, can feel punitive

Example: $10/user/month

Usage-Based Pricing

Best for: Infrastructure, APIs, consumption-based products

Pros: Low barrier to start, fair, scales naturally

Cons: Unpredictable revenue, requires usage tracking

Example: $0.001 per API call

Flat-Rate Pricing

Best for: Simple products, content, consumer apps

Pros: Simple to understand, predictable costs

Cons: Leaves money on table, one-size-fits-all

Example: $49/month unlimited

Tiered Pricing

Best for: Products with varied use cases and customer segments

Pros: Captures different willingness to pay, growth path

Cons: Can be confusing, risk of analysis paralysis

Example: Starter $9, Pro $29, Enterprise Custom

Freemium

Best for: Products with viral/network effects, low marginal cost

Pros: Removes barrier, builds habit, word-of-mouth

Cons: Conversion rates often low (2-5%), support costs

Example: Free tier with premium features gated

Credits/Token Model

Best for: AI products, creative tools, variable consumption

Pros: Flexible, aligns with value, predictable for user

Cons: Requires credit system, can feel nickel-and-dimey

Example: Buy 1000 credits for $20

Pricing Psychology

Anchoring

  • Show highest tier first (or last for contrast)
  • Display "original" price before discount
  • Include competitor pricing comparison

Charm Pricing

  • $99 vs $100 (left-digit effect)
  • Use for consumer products
  • Avoid for premium B2B

Price Ending Strategies

  • .99 = value/discount perception
  • .00 = quality/premium perception
  • .95 = slight discount signal

Decoy Effect

Add a tier that makes your target tier look better:

  • Basic: $10 (limited)
  • Pro: $25 (full features) ← target
  • Enterprise: $100 (Pro + minor extras) ← decoy makes Pro look valuable

Round Numbers

  • Use for subscription pricing
  • Feels more premium and professional

Pricing Page Best Practices

Structure

  1. Clear tier names that indicate target user
  2. Highlight recommended tier (badge, border, color)
  3. Show monthly vs annual (annual should have clear savings)
  4. Feature comparison table below tiers
  5. FAQ section for objections

Tier Design (Rule of 3)

Tier 1: Entry/Starter

  • Lower price point
  • Core features only
  • Target: individuals, small teams

Tier 2: Growth/Pro (Highlighted)

  • Mid-range price
  • Best value perception
  • Most popular choice
  • Target: growing teams

Tier 3: Scale/Enterprise

  • Premium price (or custom)
  • All features + extras
  • Target: larger organizations

Pricing Page Copy

Tier descriptions: Focus on who it's for, not just what's included

  • Bad: "10 users, 100GB storage"
  • Good: "For growing teams ready to scale"

Feature names: Benefit-oriented

  • Bad: "API access"
  • Good: "Connect your existing tools"

Social proof on pricing page:

  • Customer logos by tier
  • "Most popular" badge
  • User counts per tier

Value-Based Pricing Framework

Step 1: Understand Value Delivered

  • What outcome does your product create?
  • What's the $ value of that outcome?
  • What's the alternative cost?

Step 2: Identify Customer Segments

  • Different segments have different willingness to pay
  • Map features to segment needs
  • Price discriminate appropriately

Step 3: Calculate Value Metric

  • What unit best captures value delivered?
  • Users, usage, outcomes, seats?
  • Should scale with customer success

Step 4: Set Price Points

  • Target 10-20% of value delivered
  • Test different price points
  • Leave room for negotiation in B2B

Price Change Strategies

Raising Prices

  • Grandfather existing customers (or give notice)
  • Lead with new value/features
  • Communicate clearly and early
  • Test on new customers first

Discounting

  • Use sparinglyβ€”trains customers to wait
  • Tie to commitment (annual vs monthly)
  • Time-box clearly
  • Avoid discounting flagship product

Promotional Pricing

  • Launch pricing (ends on date)
  • Early-bird pricing (limited quantity)
  • Partner discounts (mutual value)
  • Student/nonprofit tiers

Pricing Metrics to Track

  • ARPU: Average revenue per user
  • ACV: Annual contract value
  • Expansion revenue: Upsells and upgrades
  • Price elasticity: Demand change with price change
  • Win rate by tier: Which tiers close best
  • Trial-to-paid conversion: By price point

Analysis Framework

When developing pricing, assess:

  1. Cost floor: What's the minimum viable price?
  2. Competitor range: Where does market sit?
  3. Value ceiling: What's maximum customer would pay?
  4. Strategic position: Premium, mid-market, or value?

Output Format

When creating pricing strategy, provide:

  1. Recommended pricing model with rationale
  2. Tier structure (names, prices, features)
  3. Value metric explanation
  4. Pricing page wireframe/copy
  5. Competitive positioning
  6. **Risk analysis and mitigations
  7. Testing recommendations
