FAQ

Common questions about Pricing Strategy Lab and how to use it effectively.

01

How does it handle the psychology of pricing — charm pricing, anchoring, decoys?

It integrates behavioural pricing principles deeply into the tier-design process. It knows that a $99 plan next to a $199 plan makes the $199 plan look expensive, while a $99 plan next to a $149 plan and a $249 plan makes the $149 plan feel like the smart choice — that is the decoy effect in action. It will help you design your pricing page layout, anchor prices, and default selection so that the tier you want most customers to choose feels like their idea, not your upsell. The psychological layer is treated as design, not manipulation, because helping customers confidently choose the right tier benefits both sides.

02

What if I sell through resellers or channel partners — how does that change pricing?

Channel pricing introduces a margin stack that fundamentally changes your economics, and the GPT models it explicitly. It helps you set a list price that leaves room for partner margins (typically 20-40%) while still covering your costs and target profit. It also addresses the channel conflict problem — when your direct sales team competes with your partners — by suggesting deal-registration programmes, vertical exclusivity, or differentiated product SKUs that give each channel a clean lane.

03

Can it simulate what happens if I raise prices by 20%?

It can model the trade-off using reasonable elasticity assumptions. The math is straightforward: if you raise prices by 20% and lose no more than X% of customers, you come out ahead. The GPT helps you figure out what X is for your specific situation by considering switching costs, competitor pricing, and how unique your value is. It will also suggest a staged approach — raise prices for new customers first, grandfather existing ones, and measure the conversion-rate impact before applying the increase to the whole base.

04

How does it think about 'good-better-best' tier design?

It treats three-tier design as a conversion-optimisation problem, not a feature-slicing exercise. The 'good' tier must be genuinely useful on its own, not a crippled teaser that breeds resentment. The 'best' tier should include features that are genuinely valuable to power users but not essential for most customers — if everyone needs the 'best' tier, your lower tiers are broken. The 'better' tier is where the volume should land, and the GPT helps you pack it with enough value that it feels like the obvious choice while still leaving clear upgrade reasons for those who need more.

05

Can it help with a 'pay what you want' or donation-based model?

It can analyse whether pay-what-you-want makes sense for your specific context — typically it works only when there is strong social pressure or a visible community norm around fair payment, like at a local farm stand or a creator supported by a passionate fan base. For most commercial software and services, PWYW leaves too much money on the table and attracts customers who value the product least. The GPT will give you an honest assessment rather than encouraging a model that sounds nice but does not pay the bills.

06

How does it approach usage-based pricing versus flat subscription?

It frames the choice as a value-alignment question: usage-based pricing works when your costs scale with usage and customer value scales with usage (think cloud infrastructure or API calls). Flat subscriptions work when your marginal cost per user is near zero and the value is in access, not volume. The GPT will model both approaches for your specific business, showing how each one changes the customer profile you attract, the predictability of your revenue, and the complexity of your billing system.

07

What about grandfathering — should I ever change prices on existing customers?

It generally advises grandfathering existing customers on their current pricing for at least 12-24 months after a price increase, with clear communication about when and how their pricing will eventually transition. The short-term revenue you gain from hiking prices on loyal customers is almost always smaller than the long-term cost of churn and reputation damage. The GPT also suggests giving grandfathered customers a pathway to the new pricing that comes with new features they actually want, turning a price increase into a value upgrade.

08

How early should I think about pricing — can this help at the idea stage?

Pricing should be one of the first things you think about, not the last, and the GPT is useful from day zero. At the idea stage, it helps you run a 'willingness-to-pay thought experiment' by looking at what customers currently pay to solve the problem — even if the current solution is manual labour, a spreadsheet, or doing nothing. If the problem is not painful enough that anyone pays to solve it today, no pricing strategy will save you. That is a much better thing to learn before you write a single line of code.
