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

Finance-Based Pricing Advisor

  • Estimates revenue impact from price increases, new tiers, add-ons, or discounts using your current ARPU and customer data
  • Assesses churn risk by segment and helps you decide whether to grandfather existing customers
  • Calculates conversion impact and shows how pricing changes affect trial-to-paid rates or sales close rates
  • Evaluates CAC payback and LTV:CAC ratio changes to ensure pricing improves unit economics
  • Provides a go/no-go recommendation with supporting math and risk assessment
