    Pricing models cheat-sheet

    Pick the model that matches how your customers get value.

    Models

    • Monthly subscription — best when value is ongoing. Easy to forecast.
    • One-time purchase — templates, courses, lifetime deals. Fast cash, no recurring revenue.
    • Usage-based — pay per credit/video/report. Fits AI products with real per-use costs.
    • Tiered — Basic/Pro/Team. Most people pick the middle option.
    • Productised service — fixed price for a fixed deliverable.

    Rules of thumb

    • Price on the value you create, not your costs.
    • Charge more than feels comfortable — you can always discount.
    • Offer annual billing at ~2 months free.
    • Make sure AI costs per user stay well below the price.
