You could charge more if that's the concern
- SpicyLemonZest 4y agoB2B pricing models are typically artifical constructs only weakly related to the costs of providing the service. If you're targeting medium to large clients processing sensitive data, for example, you might start off by just provisioning a VM for each customer while still charging per API call. The price that you want to charge your target audience (or at least your starting point for negotiations with them) will end up much lower than what you'd need to make money off the hobbyist making 20 calls a month. I wouldn't say this is an unsolvable problem. Sometimes you can build the product in a way that better aligns with your desired pricing model, and other times you can set up some implicit price discrimination in a way that feels more honest than scammy. But is that where your company's limited time and effort is best spent? Often the answer is no.
