13. Awesome Billing

Pricing / Usage-based Pricing

Subscription-based pricing is dead: Smart SaaS companies are shifting to usage-based models - Usage-based pricing is more optimal and more fair: it “allows a customer to start at a low cost, minimizing friction to getting started while still preserving the ability to monetize a customer over time”.

Pricing / Strategy

The cup-of-coffee pricing fallacy - Explains why it is a sloppy analogy.

Pricing / Market Research

Jeremy Howard - From Predictive Modelling to Optimization - “In insurance, the price is the product. (…) How do I change price to make shitload of money?” Or how to deliver results (optimal price for a customer) instead of delivering data (calculating a customer's risk, which had been the standard approach used by actuaries previously).

Van Westendorp's Price Sensitivity Meter - PSM is a market technique for determining consumer price preferences. Allows for drawing a revenue curve to estimate the price point delivering the maximum revenue.

Finding the max revenue price mark for digital products - “To find the optimal price that provides maximum revenue for your product you will need to field-test several price points; you then reconstruct the revenue curve and find the peak.”

Personalised pricing and EU law - Some cases of price personalisation are prohibited in EU due to consumer protection and data protection rules.
