I ran into the "your product is too expensive" recently, which in turn also led me to find out that my pricing model was all wrong (I target freelancers and usage of my product is limited enough that it doesn't make sense to have a monthly plan).
To a degree I'll be lowering my prices based on customer feedback, but also because the goal is to meet the customer's reality (not just my own). I think this is important for a lot of new SaaS businesses to consider as we move to a more niche-based market: is my offering matched to my customers reality?
A friend shared a nice little anecdote about this the other day: https://soundcloud.com/khuram-malik-3/pricing-by-peter-drucker https://soundcloud.com/khuram-malik-3/pricing-by-peter-druck...
- lucaspiller 13y agoI think one of the problems with building software for freelancers is you are targeting both $5/hour Elance and $100/hour 'ninja' workers. In the case of Proper (nice landing page btw!) both may have the same usage but will get a different value out of it - meaning you can't charge them both the same price. One way you could get around that in you product offerings is to offer more features in the higher plans than just more usage.
