Price your SaaS product based on value delivered to customers, not just costs. Start by researching competitor pricing, then use value-based pricing: identify your ideal customer's willingness to pay and the ROI your product provides. Test 3-4 pricing tiers (often Good-Better-Best) with 2-3x price jumps between tiers. Plan to iterate pricing based on customer feedback and conversion data. Dive deeper into [What Is SaaS Price Localization?](/blog/what-is-saas-price-localization). ### What's the difference between freemium and free trial? Freemium offers a permanently free version with limited features, converting users to paid plans for advanced functionality. Free trials give full access for a limited time (typically 7-30 days), after which users must pay or lose access. Freemium works best for high-volume, viral products. Free trials work better for complex B2B products where users need time to see value before committing.

Consider changing pricing when: 1) Your product adds significant new value, 2) You're expanding to new market segments, 3) Your LTV:CAC ratio is too high (you're underpriced), 4) Churn is low and customers cite pricing as their reason for staying, 5) You're launching a new product tier. Always grandfather existing customers at their current price to maintain trust. Test pricing changes with new customers first. Try our [pricing calculator](/tools/pricing-calculator) to see your potential impact. ### Should I show pricing on my website? Yes, for most SaaS products - transparency builds trust and filters unqualified leads. Show pricing if: your deals are under $10k annually, you have a self-service model, or competitors show pricing. Hide pricing only if: you sell complex enterprise solutions requiring customization, your deals exceed $50k+ annually, or you need sales team qualification. When in doubt, test both approaches and measure conversion rates.
