  2. Design Entry Product: Low-friction first purchase (5−5-15/month)
  3. Define Core Offering: Main product customers actually want (20−20-50/month)
  4. Plan Upsells: Premium features for power users
  5. Build Continuity: Recurring revenue mechanism

Guidance

  • Price points should feel like natural progressions (not jarring jumps)
  • Each tier should solve a clearly different problem or serve a different user segment
  • The free tier must be genuinely useful, not a crippled trial
  • Backend and Continuity tiers are where the real margin lives
