Get StartedThe three classic SaaS pricing mistakes
Launching too cheap
A low price feels safe, but it anchors a cheap value perception. Later increases take explaining and cost trust.
The wrong model
Flat rate, per-seat, usage-based or hybrid: the model decides whether your revenue grows with customer value. Many SaaS never choose it deliberately.
How your SaaS pricing strategy takes shape
Nine steps, three phases: foundation, pricing decisions, your Pricing Brain. Each step builds on the previous one.

Competition analysis

Financial planning
Variable costs, fixed costs, volume scenarios, and your break-even price.

A floor from your costs, a ceiling from value, budget and competition: your pricing corridor.
Price strategy
Value-based, competition-based or cost-plus, plus your launch tactic.

Flat rate, tiered, usage-based, per-seat, freemium or hybrid, including your number of tiers.
