SaaS Pricing Confidence Research

Free v1.0.0 2 views

Aggregates competitive pricing intelligence from 15-20 companies in your market, analyzes positioning patterns, and delivers data-backed pricing recommendations with confidence scoring.

What You Get

Replaces 8+ hours of manual research with structured, actionable insights that give founders confidence to price appropriately. Delivers comprehensive competitive analysis, feature comparisons, value-based pricing frameworks, and specific recommendations backed by market evidence.

The Problem

First-time SaaS founders struggle with setting their initial price. Without market data, they rely on gut feeling, which typically results in underpricing by 50% or more. The fear of losing early customers compounds this, leading founders to 'play it safe' with prices that don't reflect their product's value. The solution isn't advice to 'just charge more' - founders need market data that gives them confidence. They need to see what competitors charge, understand positioning options, and have a framework for determining their place in the market.

The Solution

This skill performs comprehensive competitive research to gather pricing intelligence from 15-20 companies in your market. It identifies competitors across different tiers (premium, focused, value, budget), extracts their pricing structures and features from public pricing pages, maps your features against theirs to identify positioning gaps, calculates the monetary value you deliver to target customers, and synthesizes all data into specific pricing recommendations with confidence scoring. You receive a detailed report with competitive pricing tables, feature comparison matrices, market positioning maps, value-based pricing analysis, 2-3 recommended pricing model options (per-user, flat, usage-based), and clear guidance with rationale backed by market data.

How It Works

  1. 1 Search for 15-20 competitors using product category keywords, alternatives, and adjacent tools across different market tiers
  2. 2 Extract pricing data from competitor pricing pages including tiers, prices, models (per-user/flat/usage), features, and target segments
  3. 3 Build feature comparison matrix mapping your features against competitors to identify table stakes vs. premium capabilities
  4. 4 Create market positioning map organizing competitors into tiers and visualizing where your feature set naturally fits
  5. 5 Calculate value-based pricing ceiling by analyzing customer ROI (time saved, revenue impact, cost reduction, risk mitigation)
  6. 6 Develop 2-3 pricing strategy options (per-user, flat, usage-based) with specific tier structures and price points
  7. 7 Generate confidence score (0-100) based on market data quality, feature alignment, value justification, and competitive gap analysis
  8. 8 Deliver final recommendation with clear do/don't guidance, specific price ranges, rationale backed by data, and positioning strategy

What You'll Need

  • Product description with key features and capabilities
  • Target customer profile (company size, role, industry, revenue)
