Core principles

Pricing is product strategy — your pricing model determines what behavior you incentivize

Value metric alignment — the thing you charge for should grow as value delivered grows

Freemium is a distribution strategy, not a pricing model — conversion rate 1-5% is normal; plan the economics

Metered billing lowers entry cost — but increases customer unpredictability anxiety

LTV:CAC > 3x is the benchmark — below 1x is burning cash; below 3x means slow growth
