How do you define your product pricing? 💸

@benoit_chambon at Cycle we ran monetization interviews and followed the approach below : • PHASE 0 - Initial research : 1. Benchmark and segment other tools in your sector or a sector adjacent to it (i.e. look for pricing models, pricing metrics, paywalls, number of plans, name of plans, etc.) 2. List best practices and inspiring examples that will help you shape your v0 • PHASE 1 - Value proposition definition and v0 of pricing : 1. Validate your high level feature set and value proposition available at launch (i.e. challenges identified, use cases tackled and things you’ll try to be extremely, surprisingly good at) 2. Prototype a low-fidelity home page summarising future value proposition (v0) - we used Figma 3. Prototype a low-fidelity pricing page (v0) - we used Figma • PHASE 2 - Customer interviews 1. Leverage your beta customers, team and investors’ network to run interviews with different types of potential future customers (i.e. try to have various team sizes, product maturity, funding stages, geographies, etc.) 2. Validate your buyer persona characteristics (i.e. current tool stack used, overall budget for tooling, buying process, latest tool subscribe to, current frustrations and needs) 3. Present your value proposition using your low-fidelity home page 4. Listen carefully to immediate feedback on value proposition 5. Identify most and least valuable aspects of the value proposition (MaxDiff approach) 6. Gather 3 price points : too expensive, getting expensive, bargain (Van Westendorp approach) 7. Present your low-fidelity pricing page and listen carefully to immediate feedback and reactions • PHASE 3 - Conclusions & next steps 1. You can now refine your value proposition and pricing model (v1) 2. Rank the most and least valued aspects by persona (you might also want to tweak your sales/marketing pitch for existing features or adapt your product roadmap for upcoming ones) 3. Identify of an acceptable price range by persona (van Westendorp curves based on price points)

This is not about pricing, this is about loyalty to the service :-)

In our team we had to determine what we can offer; services, products, goals, or goals. Then determine its monetary value in the current market. As well, having loyalty to your customers to stay with you as a customer.

Looking at the competitors and calculating unit economy helps a lot.

I would recommend you keep three things in mind when defining your product price - Competitors Pricing, Value generated by your product and last but not least is your Cost Price. Figure these numbers out and play around in that range. Also try designing your price in a manner that you can increase as your client finds more value in your product. For instance we price our platform based on monthly active users.

this is one of our most important questions to solve within the next 4 months. if someone knows how to solve it for timz.flowers let me know

Competitors and average market price are effective in our strategy. We have to consider our target customer group too

Don't make this too complicated. Someone once asked me how he should price a notification system. I asked him, what's the problem you're solving? Turns out, this notification system prevents downtime for a rig generating $10k/day in profits ... if down, the customer is losing $10k per day and this was currently happening twice per month, costing $20k per month. Sold for $5k per month, even though it was built in half a day. Solve the problem, share the benefits.

@sabtiali is a pro at pricing

We have a generous free tier and then our next tiers up are usage-based. OpenView has some great advice regarding pricing - Kyle Polar released this post only last week: https://openviewpartners.com/blo...
