SaaS Pricing Strategy

By ClawHub Community

Figure out the right pricing model, price points, and trial structure for your SaaS product.

Churn Prevention & Retention

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Design cancel flows, save offers, and payment recovery to keep more subscribers.

What each one does

SaaS Pricing Strategy

  • Evaluates your current or proposed pricing model and recommends whether to use tiered, usage-based, freemium, or trial approaches
  • Helps you determine willingness-to-pay and design a tier structure that converts customers
  • Provides trial strategy recommendations including optimal length, what to gate, and conversion tactics
  • Generates pricing page design guidance with frameworks for annual vs monthly, social proof, and objection handling
  • Creates an actionable checklist to implement or improve your pricing with testing and iteration strategies

Churn Prevention & Retention

  • Designs complete cancellation flows with exit surveys and targeted save offers
  • Maps different cancel reasons to the right retention offers (discounts, pauses, feature unlocks)
  • Sets up failed payment recovery sequences to reduce involuntary churn
  • Provides templates for exit surveys that identify why customers are leaving
  • Creates offer strategies based on your pricing, plans, and customer segments
