SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Deciding what to charge, how to package plans, and when to raise prices is hard without a structured framework. This Skill guides you through SaaS pricing decisions using proven methods like Van Westendorp, MaxDiff, and value-based pricing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pricing Structure Design: Apply the three pricing axes (packaging, pricing metric, price point) and the good-better-best tier framework to structure your plans. - Pricing Research Methods: Run Van Westendorp price sensitivity analysis, MaxDiff feature prioritization, and willingness-to-pay surveys to find your optimal price range. - Price Increase Strategy: Plan price raises with grandfathering, delayed increases, and value-tied communication to minimize churn. - Use Case: You are launching a customer support SaaS and unsure whether to charge per agent, per ticket, or flat rate. The Skill evaluates each value metric against value delivered and recommends a tiered structure with specific price points. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help design pricing tiers and choose a value metric for your SaaS product.

Frequently Asked Questions about pricing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose a pricing metric for my SaaS product?▼

Choose a value metric that scales with the value customers receive, such as per user, per usage, or per transaction. Ask whether customers get more value as they use more of the metric; if yes, price aligns with value.

How do I find out what customers are willing to pay?▼

Use the Van Westendorp price sensitivity meter, which asks four questions about price thresholds to identify an acceptable price range. MaxDiff analysis and Gabor-Granger surveys also reveal willingness to pay and feature priorities.

Should I offer freemium or a free trial?▼

Freemium works when your product has network effects, low marginal cost, and clear upgrade triggers. Free trials fit products needing setup time, higher price points, or B2B buying committees; 14-30 days suits complex products.

When should I raise my SaaS prices?▼

Raise prices when conversion exceeds 40%, churn is under 3% monthly, competitors have raised prices, or you have added significant value. Use grandfathering, advance notice, or value-tied increases to reduce churn.

How many pricing tiers should my product have?▼

Three tiers is the industry standard: an entry tier, a recommended middle tier, and a premium tier at 2-3x the middle price. Four or more tiers risk decision paralysis unless you serve a wide range of customer sizes.

Does this skill handle pricing page conversion optimization?▼

No, this skill covers pricing strategy decisions like what to charge and how to package plans. For pricing page conversion rate optimization, it defers to the cro skill, which handles page design and CTA improvements.
