See if you can find some subtle differences between the larger companies and the smaller ones. Those differences can be used as features to implement a tiered payment system.
For example, my company services both small, boutique design firms as well as multi-million dollar ad agencies. Fundamentally, they both use our core services the same, so we've kept that as our standard value proposition across the tiers regardless of price. However, we noticed the agencies in particular wanted the ability for multiple users of the company to be able to log into the system, to be able to internally share notes with one another, and a few other things that, while are nice-to-have for the smaller firms, were not priorities for them. In turn, we threw all those features into an Enterprise plan and could justify charging a larger monthly/yearly fee for our services for the ad agencies.
The major downside of this strategy is if you roll out your tiered pricing from the beginning with these extra features listed, be sure you aren't deceiving your customers and that you have the features built.
For early-stage startups, it's not recommended to build much outside the core value proposition, so an alternative can be advertise your features as "coming soon" and offer discounts to your early enterprise clients.
