Pricing Strategy

This pulls together pricing frameworks from 46 product leaders into something you can actually use when you're staring at a blank pricing page. It'll push you to run willingness to pay conversations before you ship, treat pricing as something you revisit every 6-12 months instead of set-and-forget, and avoid common traps like hard paywalling all your premium features or trying to close $50K deals through a credit card form. The questions it asks are direct: what would customers pay today, when did you last change your pricing, what's actually preventing you from charging more. Useful whether you're launching your first paid tier or realizing your pricing hasn't kept up with the value you've added.

Core Principles

Price as a Quality Signal

Jason Cohen: "Your prices are way too low because you just guessed and you haven't changed them. What often happens is you raise prices and signups don't change."

Stagnant or low pricing can inadvertently signal low quality to high-value customers who equate higher costs with higher-tier solutions.
