Frequently asked questions
How do I determine if my product is underpriced?
Calculate the Value Ratio by dividing the customer's alternative cost by your price. A ratio greater than 5x suggests the product is underpriced.
When should I use a seat-based pricing model?
Use seat-based pricing when value scales with the number of users, usage is uniform across users, and you require predictable revenue.
How should I handle enterprise pricing inquiries?
Do not provide a number immediately. Ask questions to understand deployment, scale, compliance, and support requirements, then anchor the price to the value provided.
What is the recommended approach for raising prices?
Grandfather existing customers for 12-24 months, add new value to justify the increase, or include annual escalator clauses in enterprise contracts.
