How to Price Your SaaS Product

SaaS pricing is one of the most impactful decisions you'll make. Getting it right accelerates growth; getting it wrong leaves money on the table or kills your conversion rate.

Key SaaS Pricing Metrics

  • MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue): Your predictable monthly income from subscriptions
  • ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue): MRR × 12 — used for valuation and planning
  • LTV (Lifetime Value): Total revenue from an average customer before they churn
  • CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost): Total cost to acquire one customer
  • LTV:CAC Ratio: Target 3:1 or higher for a healthy SaaS business
  • Gross Margin: Target 75%+ for SaaS (best-in-class is 80-90%)

Common SaaS Pricing Models

  • Per-seat pricing: Charge per user (Slack, Notion). Scales with team size.
  • Usage-based pricing: Charge by usage (AWS, Twilio). Aligns cost with value.
  • Tiered pricing: 3-4 tiers with increasing features (most common model).
  • Flat-rate pricing: One price for everything (simple, but limits revenue).
  • Freemium: Free tier + paid upgrades (Spotify, Dropbox). High volume needed.

Pricing Best Practices

  • Price on value delivered, not cost to serve
  • Offer annual billing with 15-20% discount to reduce churn
  • Include a free trial (14 days) rather than a permanently free tier
  • Review and adjust pricing every 6-12 months
  • Always have an enterprise tier with "Contact Us" pricing
