pricing-strategist
Use when designing or revisiting product pricing — selecting a pricing model (subscription seat-based, usage-based, value-based, freemium, or hybrid), running Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter analysis on WTP survey data, or designing Good/Better/Best packaging tiers. Recommends a model and a price range with trade-offs, never a single number. For Commercial leads, Product Marketing, and CMOs at the pricing-design moment — not deal-by-deal discounting, not brand positioning.

# pricing-strategist ## Purpose Help Commercial, Product Marketing, and CMO functions answer three questions at the pricing-design moment: 1. **Which pricing model fits this product + customer + market?** (subscription seat-based, usage-based, value-based, freemium, hybrid) 2. **What does the customer actually pay before it feels too expensive?** (Van Westendorp PSM on WTP survey responses) 3. **How should we package this into tiers?** (Good / Better / Best — with anti-pattern detection) The skill recommends **a model and a range**. The human picks the number, owns the trade-offs, and runs the GTM. ## When to use - Launching a new SaaS / API / AI tool and choosing the first pricing model - Revisiting pricing after 18+ months of GTM data (model shift, not just price increase) - Designing or redesigning tier packaging (Good/Better/Best, Bronze/Silver/Gold) - You have Van Westendorp survey data and want the optimal price range - A board / exec is asking "what should we charge?" and you need the structured answer - You suspect your packaging has anti-patterns (decoy tier, feature dump, no upgrade trigger) **Do not use for:** - Per-deal discount approval → `deal-desk` - Strategic CMO po

Where does this skill come from?
From alirezarezvani/claude-skills, a repository with 23,791 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
