Pricing Validation

Stop Leaving Money on the Table

Explore possible price ranges with established pricing-question frameworks and structured AI archetypes, then validate with real customers.

Pricing Analysis

Pricing Is the Biggest Lever You're Not Testing

Companies use many pricing approaches. Customer research and live evidence are needed to understand actual willingness to pay.

  • Gut-based pricing leaves revenue on the table
  • Competitor matching assumes they got it right
  • Cost-plus ignores customer value perception
  • Human pricing studies vary in cost and scope
  • A/B testing prices risks customer trust

Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter

Identifies four key price thresholds by asking personas at what price your product is too cheap (quality concerns), a bargain, getting expensive, and too expensive.

Gabor-Granger Price Analysis

Uses model-generated purchase-intent responses at specific price points to build modeled demand curves and price-sensitivity estimates.

When to Test Pricing

Common scenarios where pricing validation drives results

New Product Launch

Set the right price from day one. Avoid the costly mistake of repricing after launch.

SaaS launching new tier

Price Increase

Explore model-generated price sensitivity, then validate actual customer response before changing prices.

Annual price review

Tier Structure

Design pricing tiers that maximize upgrade rates and customer lifetime value.

Good/Better/Best packages

Market Expansion

Test pricing in new markets where willingness to pay may differ significantly.

International expansion

Structured AI Archetypes

Nineteen structured AI audience archetypes with defined demographic, behavioral, and psychographic attributes.

Full Transparency

Export methodology with reasoning chains - not a black box.

Directional Results

Model-generated hypotheses to validate with real customers and market evidence.
