What it does

Pricing Strategy is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Structure pricing strategy decisions, packaging options, and tier design for SaaS and digital products. Use when reviewing or setting pricing, designing pricing tiers, evaluating freemium vs paid, or preparing a pricing change. Produces a pricing strategy recommendation with model rationale, tier structure, competitive positioning, and rollout plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/model-selection.md`).

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Pricing strategy. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting pricing
  • Designing pricing tiers
  • Evaluating freemium vs paid
  • Preparing a pricing change

Example prompts

  • “/pricing-strategy”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Who is our buyer? (Role, company size, willingness to pay)
  2. What value do we deliver? (Quantifiable outcome — time saved, revenue generated, risk reduced)
  3. What is our pricing model? (Per seat, usage-based, flat, hybrid)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pricing Strategy loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 756 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Structure pricing strategy decisions, packaging options, and tier design for SaaS and digital products. Use when reviewing or setting pricing, designing pricing tiers, evaluating freemium vs paid, or preparing a pricing change. Produces a pricing strategy recommendation with model rationale, tier structure, competitive positioning, and rollout plan.

Pricing Strategy Skill

Build pricing that reflects value delivered — not cost to build. Structure every pricing decision with customer segmentation, value metric identification, competitive context, and a packaging recommendation.

Pricing Foundations

Three questions to answer before any pricing decision:

  1. Who is our buyer? (Role, company size, willingness to pay)
  2. What value do we deliver? (Quantifiable outcome — time saved, revenue generated, risk reduced)
  3. What is our pricing model? (Per seat, usage-based, flat, hybrid)

Pricing Models

ModelBest ForRisk
Per SeatCollaboration tools, team softwareDisincentivises adoption as team grows
Usage-BasedAPIs, infrastructure, consumption toolsRevenue unpredictability for both sides
Flat RateSimple tools, early-stageLeaves money on table from power users
TieredProducts with clear user segmentsFeature gatekeeping frustrates users
FreemiumViral/PLG products with low marginal costConversion to paid is hard to engineer
Value-BasedEnterprise, outcomes-driven productsRequires strong ROI story

Freemium Decision Framework

Use freemium when:

  • ✅ Marginal cost per free user is near zero
  • ✅ Product is inherently viral (network effects or sharing)
  • ✅ Free tier creates genuine value (not just a demo)
  • ✅ Clear upgrade trigger exists (feature, volume, or team size)
  • ✅ Conversion benchmark is realistic (2–5% free-to-paid is typical)

Avoid freemium when:

  • ❌ Support cost per free user is high
  • ❌ No natural upgrade trigger in the product
  • ❌ Core value requires features you'd need to gate

Packaging / Tiering Framework

Recommended 3-tier structure for SaaS:

TierTargetPrice SignalKey FeaturesLock-in Mechanism
Free / StarterIndividual, early discovery$0Core value, usage-limitedInvite colleagues, export limit
Pro / GrowthSMB, growing teams$[X]/seat/moFull features, higher limitsTeam collaboration, integrations
Business / EnterpriseMid-market, enterprise$[X]/seat/mo or customAdmin, SSO, SLAs, dedicated supportSecurity, compliance, volume

Tier design rules:

  • Each tier should be genuinely sufficient for its target segment
  • The upgrade trigger should be felt naturally — not manufactured
  • Price jumps of 3–5x between tiers are normal and defensible

Competitive Pricing Context

CompetitorModelPriceKey Differentiator
[Name][Model][Price][What they lead with]

Positioning options:

  • Premium: Price 20–40% above market. Justify with enterprise features, support, or brand.
  • Parity: Match the market leader. Win on product or distribution.
  • Value: Price below market. Win on volume. Dangerous without strong unit economics.

Output Format

Pricing Strategy Recommendation — [Product] — [Date]

Current State: [What pricing exists today, if any] Problem to Solve: [Why pricing is being reviewed]

Recommended Pricing Model: [Model name + rationale]

Value Metric: [The single unit that scales with customer value — e.g., "active users", "API calls", "documents processed"]

Proposed Tiers:

[Table using 3-tier structure above]

Free-to-Paid Upgrade Trigger: [Specific moment or threshold that creates natural upgrade pressure]

Competitive Position: [Premium / Parity / Value + reasoning]

Pricing Change Rollout (if applicable):

  • Grandfathering: [Yes / No — recommendation and rationale]
  • Communication plan: [How to tell customers + timing]
  • Rollback plan: [Under what conditions you'd revert]

Risks:

  • [Risk] → Mitigation: [Action]

Metrics to Monitor Post-Change:

  • Conversion rate (free to paid)
  • Churn rate by tier
  • Average revenue per user (ARPU)
  • Expansion revenue

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Product or service being priced
  • Current pricing (if any — and why it's being reviewed)
  • Target customer segments (size, role, willingness to pay)
  • Key competitors and their pricing (if known)
  • Business model (SaaS / Marketplace / Usage-based / Other)
  • Primary goal (grow adoption / increase ARPU / reduce churn / new market entry)

Deeper Materials

Quality Checks

  • Value metric is defined (the unit that scales with customer value)
  • Free-to-paid upgrade trigger is specific (not "when they need more")
  • Competitive positioning is chosen and justified (premium / parity / value)
  • Pricing change rollout plan includes grandfathering decision
  • Counter-metrics are defined to catch perverse incentives
  • Risks have specific mitigations (not just listed)

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not base pricing solely on cost-plus — pricing must reflect value delivered to the customer
  • Do not design tiers where the middle tier is clearly worse value — it undermines trust and pushes customers to extremes
  • Do not change pricing without a migration plan for existing customers — surprise price changes cause churn
  • Do not set enterprise pricing as "contact us" without a floor — it deters self-serve evaluation and qualification
  • Do not skip competitive positioning — pricing in isolation from the market is incomplete strategy

Guidelines

  • Never price based on cost — price based on value delivered to the customer
  • Always A/B test price changes where possible; use geographic holdouts if A/B isn't feasible
  • Recommend annual pricing with 15–20% discount — improves cash flow and reduces churn
  • If enterprise pricing is "contact us", recommend adding a price floor to qualify inbound

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Set pricing."
  • "Design pricing tiers."
  • "Evaluate freemium vs paid."
  • "Prepare a pricing change."
