Pricing Strategy

Analyze and optimize product or service pricing using value-based, cost-plus, competitive, and tiered models with actionable recommendations.

Pricing Strategy Analyzer

Analyze and optimize pricing for any product or service. Covers value-based, cost-plus, competitive, and tiered pricing models.

What It Does

• Runs pricing power analysis (1% price increase = 12.5% profit increase for most businesses)
• Calculates willingness-to-pay ranges using Van Westendorp methodology
• Models tier structures (Good/Better/Best) with anchor pricing
• Identifies pricing mistakes: leaving money on table, racing to bottom, ignoring segments
• Generates competitor pricing matrices
• Produces actionable pricing recommendations with revenue impact estimates

Usage

Ask your agent: "Analyze pricing for [product/service]" or "Help me set pricing for [new offering]"

Provide:

• Current pricing (if any)
• Target customer segment
• Key competitors and their pricing
• Cost structure (fixed + variable)
• Current conversion rate and volume

The agent will return a full pricing analysis with specific recommendations and projected revenue impact.

Pricing Frameworks Included

Value-Based Pricing

Calculate price based on quantified customer value, not your costs. The #1 pricing mistake is anchoring to cost instead of value delivered.

Tiered Pricing (Good/Better/Best)

• Good: Entry point, captures price-sensitive segment (60-70% of value)
• Better: Sweet spot, where most revenue comes from (85-90% of value)
• Best: Premium anchor that makes Better look reasonable (100%+ of value)

Competitive Positioning

• Premium (20-50% above market): requires clear differentiation
• Parity (±10%): compete on features/experience
• Penetration (20-40% below): volume play, requires cost advantage

Price Elasticity Quick Test

• Drop price 10%, measure volume change
• If volume increases <10% → you have pricing power, raise prices
• If volume increases >15% → you're in elastic territory, optimize for volume

Key Metrics to Track

• ACV (Annual Contract Value) — are deals getting bigger or smaller?
• Discount frequency — if >30% of deals need discounts, your list price is wrong
• Time-to-close by price point — longer cycles at higher prices may still be more profitable
• Expansion revenue % — best signal that your pricing captures ongoing value
