Pricing strategy for SaaS products and dev studio services. Use when asked to design pricing tiers, set rates, evaluate freemium vs paid, create packaging, or adapt pricing for LATAM markets. Triggers on "how should we price this", "pricing tiers", "freemium or paid", "what should we charge", "pricing page", "LATAM pricing", "consulting rates".

Skywalking operates in two pricing modes — (1) studio service pricing and (2) helping clients design SaaS pricing. LATAM purchasing power, USD/local currency dynamics, and B2B trust-building shape what works.
Creates isolated Git worktrees for feature branches with prioritized directory selection, gitignore safety checks, auto project setup for Node/Python/Rust/Go, and baseline verification.
Executes implementation plans in current session by dispatching fresh subagents per independent task, with two-stage reviews: spec compliance then code quality.
Dispatches parallel agents to independently tackle 2+ tasks like separate test failures or subsystems without shared state or dependencies.

Per-seat: Value scales with team. Risk: customers minimize seats. Usage-based: Aligns cost with value. Risk: unpredictable revenue. Flat-rate: Simple. Risk: leaves money on table at top end. Tiered (recommended): Free → Pro → Business. Each tier unlocks value, not just limits.
Tier design:
Project-based: Fixed scope, fixed price. Client gets predictability. Retainer: Monthly, defined outcomes. Preferred for ongoing work. Value-based: Priced against business outcome. "We build the checkout that recovers $X/month" > "40 hours at $Y".
USD vs. Local Currency:
