|---|---|
| ARR | $1.5M-3M |
| Customers | 1,000-2,000 |
| Team size | 10-20 people |
| Growth rate | 100%+ YoY |
Value-Based Pricing Principles
Price on Value, Not Cost
| Approach | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Cost-plus | "$50 hosting + $50 profit = $100" | Race to bottom |
| Competitor-based | "They charge $80, we charge $75" | Commoditization |
| Value-based | "Saves 10 hours/week × $50/hr = $500/week value → Price $200/mo" | Sustainable margins |
ROI Framework
For any niche business software:
| Value Driver | Typical Savings | Price Justification |
|---|---|---|
| Time savings | 5-20 hours/week | $100-500/week value |
| Error reduction | 2-5% revenue loss prevented | % of customer revenue |
| Customer retention | 10-20% better retention | CLV improvement |
| Professional image | Premium positioning | Price premium capture |
Rule of thumb: Price at 10-20% of value delivered
Pricing Psychology
Anchoring
| Technique | Example | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| High anchor | Show enterprise tier first | Mid-tier feels reasonable |
| Feature anchor | "Full features, simple price" | Reduce price shopping |
| Competitor anchor | "50% less than [expensive competitor]" | Steal market share |
Decoy Effect
3-Tier Pricing:
| Tier | Price | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $49/mo | Entry point, builds habit |
| Professional | $149/mo | Target tier (most should land here) |
| Enterprise | $349/mo | Makes Pro look reasonable |
Result: 60-70% choose middle tier
Loss Aversion
| Technique | Example |
|---|---|
| Trial that converts | Full features, then lose them |
| Annual lock-in | "Save 20%" + friction to cancel |
| Sunk cost | Setup fee waived with annual |
Pricing Strategy by Stage
Launch Pricing
| Phase | Strategy | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Beta | Free or 50% off | 1-2 months |
| Launch | 20-30% early adopter discount | 2-3 months |
| Growth | Full price, annual discount | Ongoing |
When to Raise Prices
| Signal | Action |
|---|---|
| Conversion rate >40% | Price too low, raise 20% |
| No price pushback | Price too low, raise 10-15% |
| Feature parity exceeded | Premium tier or price raise |
| Every 12 months | Minimum 5% annual increase |
Grandfather Policy
| Approach | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Honor old price forever | Loyalty, low churn | Revenue compression |
| Phase in over 12 months | Balance | Moderate churn risk |
| Immediate for all | Maximum revenue | Churn spike risk |
Recommendation: Phase in over 12 months with 90-day notice
