Frequently asked questions
Is a pricing metric the same as a price?
No. The metric is the unit that determines what a customer pays for, such as seats, locations or processed events. Price points require separate research.
Should every SaaS use per-seat pricing?
No. Seats can work when value grows with participating users. They can discourage adoption when broad collaboration creates value.
Can an MVP change its pricing metric later?
Yes, but changing contracts, billing data and customer expectations has a cost. Test metric clarity before automating complex billing.
Does this validate willingness to pay?
No. It checks metric fit. Use pricing interviews, offer tests or real sales conversations to test willingness to pay.
