technical-product-pricing

technical-product-pricing is a skill for Claude Code from beingsmit/technical-product-gtm. It costs 46 tokens per session (2,943 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gtm-technical-product-pricing, MIT.

A guide for setting prices for technical products such as APIs, developer tools, software services, and infrastructure. It helps compare charging by usage, by user, or through free and paid plans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design pricing tiers, freemium limits, enterprise offers, usage-based prices, and price increases. It also helps use pricing to position a product in the market.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork from pricing decisions by considering costs, competitors, sales methods, and the value customers receive. It also helps decide when a price increase may be reasonable.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

technical-product-pricing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Technical Product Pricing

Initial Assessment

Before recommending pricing, understand:

  1. Product type: API/platform, developer tool, SaaS application, infrastructure?
  2. Current pricing: What do you charge now? How long has it been this way?
  3. GTM motion: Self-serve, sales-assisted, enterprise, or hybrid?
  4. Cost structure: What's your marginal cost per customer/user/unit?
  5. Competitive landscape: What do alternatives cost? (Including "do nothing")

Core Frameworks

1. The Price Increase Nobody Noticed (You're Probably Underpriced)

The Pattern:

Platform company, growth stage. Pricing hadn't changed since launch. Enterprise customers paying $15K/year for a product saving them $200K+ in engineering time.

Leadership debate: "If we raise prices, we'll lose customers."

What actually happened:

Raised enterprise tier from $15K to $45K/year. Added dedicated support, SSO, audit logs to justify the jump.

Lost: 0 enterprise customers. Zero.

Gained: 3x revenue per enterprise account. Plus the customers who stayed started taking the product more seriously — higher adoption, more internal champions, more expansion.

Why This Happens:

Technical founders anchor pricing to cost ("it costs us $X to serve them, so we charge $2X"). Enterprise buyers anchor pricing to value ("this saves us $200K, so $45K is cheap").

The Pricing Sanity Check:

For every customer segment, calculate:

Value Ratio = Customer's alternative cost / Your price

If Value Ratio > 10x → You're massively underpriced
If Value Ratio > 5x  → You're underpriced (most startups are here)
If Value Ratio 3-5x  → Healthy pricing
If Value Ratio < 3x  → Approaching ceiling
If Value Ratio < 2x  → You're expensive (need strong differentiation)

How to Calculate Alternative Cost:

  • Hours spent on manual process × hourly rate × frequency
  • Cost of building in-house (engineers × months × loaded cost)
  • Cost of existing tool + switching cost + productivity loss during transition
  • Cost of not solving the problem (incidents, downtime, churn)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
