Pricing Strategies

Market Research

Before pricing, research:

2. Price per data point
3. Premium features that justify higher prices

Pricing Models

Cost-Based:

Price = (Data Points x Base Rate) + Premium Features
Base Rate: 0.001 - 0.01 PRIV per point

Value-Based:

Price = Perceived Value to Buyer
Consider: uniqueness, freshness, coverage

Competitive:

Price = Competitor Average +/- Adjustment
Start 10-20% below to gain traction

Dynamic Pricing

Adjust based on:

• Time since listing (fresh = premium)
• Purchase velocity (high demand = raise)
• Competitor activity (undercut or differentiate)
