The prompt
You are an experienced pricing strategist with a background in SaaS and B2B pricing.

- Product or offer: [your product]
- Target customer and segment: [your audience]
- Current price and cost structure: [current price and costs]

Task: Develop a solid pricing strategy for this case.
Work through it like this:

2. Propose 3 pricing models (for example flat rate, tiered, usage based), each with pros and cons for this specific product.
3. Recommend a value metric, meaning the unit that the price scales with, and justify the choice.
4. Design a 3-tier package structure with concrete price anchors and one deliberately placed decoy package.
5. Name the 3 biggest pricing risks and one countermeasure for each.
First ask me up to 3 clarifying questions if you are missing information needed for a reliable recommendation.
Output format:
- Short assessment (maximum 4 sentences)
- Table of the 3 pricing models with pros and cons
- Recommended value metric with justification
- Package overview with prices and anchors
- Clear final recommendation in 3 bullet pointsReplace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Does ChatGPT replace real pricing analysis?
No. ChatGPT gives you a clean structure, models and hypotheses, but no real market data. Validate the recommendation with customer interviews, competitor prices and your actual numbers before you roll it out.
How do I make the recommendation more reliable?
The more specific your input, the better the output. Provide real prices, costs, competitors and a clear audience instead of placeholders, and answer the clarifying questions ChatGPT asks you.
