Value-based pricing is all about using the perceived value, often also referred to as willingness-to-pay of your customers.
There are three main ways to define a price point: Cost-based, Competitor-based, and Value-based.
Value-based pricing is often confused with Outcome-based pricing.
Examples of companies utilizing the value-based pricing strategy for software product are Notion, Slack, Airtable and Zapier.
Revenue maximization, maximizing user growth and customer-centricity are the three essential benefits of implementing value-based pricing.
To implement value-based pricing, product development organizations should gain an understanding of which features/customers value the most and the willingness to pay.
Then, they should conduct a price sensitivity analysis for each feature of their product.
After that, they need to create a packaging matrix to analyze which feature is most important.
For complex products, organizations need to conduct a price sensitivity analysis again for the features that land on the top-right corner.
Regardless of how your price scales, value-based pricing is the most efficient way to set a price point that’s right for both you and your customers.
