The numbers you are contemplating here are shockingly low — 1000x too low — for enterprise SaaS. Questions about security and SSO are “tells” that you’re dealing with a very different kind of customer.
If you want to sell to large enterprises, this patio11 article is a good start: https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/enterprise_sales https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/enterpris...
Do you or your co-founders have a strong sales background? If not, skip the whole enterprise sales thing for now and focus on converting consumer accounts. With half a million users, even a low conversion rate at a low price point should turn this into a profitable business.

- sigil 6y agoIn some cases! It sounds like your tool doesn’t (yet) deliver that kind of value. If your viable price point really is closer to $10/seat, consider reframing these conversations as “$1,000/month for up to 100 users.” As patio11 points out in that essay, dollar figures below $500 or so seem like a rounding error to an enterprise. Or worse, something unserious.
