Example (API):
$49 base + ($0.001 × API calls)
Pricing Strategy
Value-Based Pricing
Formula:
Your Price = (Customer Value Delivered) × (Capture Rate)
Example:
Customer saves $100K/year with your product
You capture 10% = $10K/year price
Price Sensitivity Analysis
Van Westendorp Method:
- At what price is this too expensive?
- At what price is this too cheap?
- At what price is this expensive but worth it?
- At what price is this a bargain?
Unit Economics
Key Metrics
LTV = ARPU × Gross Margin % / Churn %
Example:
$100 ARPU × 80% GM / 5% churn = $1,600 LTV
CAC Target: LTV/3 = $533 max CAC
Payback: 12 months max
