We're in a similar position at the moment, trying to decide how to price a specialised monthly subscription service. Our potential global market ranges from people who tend to have very limited time, and who might therefore put a substantial value on services like ours that help them save it, right through to university students with very limited funds (and, let's be honest, a tendency to obtain media content through not entirely legal channels). We've been working on ideas for pricing plans, and soliciting feedback from people within our market, but you never really know how things are going to go until you launch and ask people to put their credit card numbers into your system. That goes double when much of the informal feedback you get in the early days comes from friends/family who will have a tendency to be kind. If anyone has any experience of this sort of decision and how they changed their plans over time, I'd love to hear it. (Shameless plug: We're also interested in any experience of making informed decisions using metrics in the broader sense.
