I went and looked at 100+ SaaS pricing pages, and in this video, I want to go over some of the variations, plus the pros and cons of each different model. I also have a couple of examples of companies that pivoted from one model to the other, and how the transition went.

The world of startups was essentially transformed when we figured out SaaS. When companies pivoted from a one-time sale to a monthly subscription, a whole world of possibilities was unveiled.

SaaS allows predictable revenue. It lets us estimate customer lifetime value with unprecedented accuracy. These days you can even raise capital or get a loan based on your MRR.

So let’s get to it.

I don't have a business yet but I feel like I'm being equipped with knowledge on what to do when the time comes. Keep up the videos! Prime knowledge base videos here!

Just want to give props to the Person responsible for the lighting of these Videos. Really pumps Up the production. Which is stellar!

SaaS models explained

1. Flat pricing (simple one time/month fee)
2. Teardown pricing(more fee with extra feature)
3. Usage based pricing(pay for usage)
4. User based pricing (number of users, team members etc)

I love your videos, it's like having a smart friend telling you all he knows over lunch, without having to pay for lunch :). Very well presented and informative.

By the way, the link your video regarding SaaS Metrics you mention at 1:23 isn't in the description

[Darlene-dono]

Pricing model is very important I've always told my friends one time payments can't really sustain a business

[alvarovillalbaperez]

Really insightful info! We need more content like this. Practical examples that matter a lot when building product.

[tuancao]

This so far the best explanation of SaaS pricing. Thank so much for sharing.

[RachelDoji]

Great vid as always. I'm a software developer, not a start-up person looking for a pitch deck, just love the great content this channel pumps out :D

[GOAP]

Interesting to watch as I HATE SaaS and refuse to use any product that has such a pricing model. Have been burned twice by critical SaaS services. One completely discontinued their software. The second had a 10 times price increase. Both happened with only a couple weeks notice. Both had hundreds of hours invested in learning/implementing the software.

Thank you, Caya, for another valuable video. Congratulations to the team.

[singularityraptor]

This video is very well done! You guys should be proud of your work.

[umarmuhammadzakari]

Pricing model is another important part of building a Saas startup

[eyedealistworldwide]

i hope you guys know that as a youtube page slidebeam is making a big impact in the space of knowledge and insight in the business of app, tech and consumer product development

[tomwoolnough]

Great vid Caya. The question I have is how to you set the initial price for a product within the right ball park? We’re about to release a product and can do the tiered pricing experiments but how do you set a price for the initial release knowing that's not a completely crazy proposition for your customers. Maybe the next vid?

[ayeansh]

Wow ! Now this is a really interesting video concept ... Haven't watched it yet but looks amazing.

[JonathanBrannen-nr]

Yes please cover that in another video!

[LigneDesign]

Perfect timing! How about value based pricing? How about starting with the Van Westendorp study, then evaluating the value of features by conducting a MaxDiff analysis, and then possibly a Conjoint analysis?

[tekudiv]

Great to see you back on topics that directly help startups.

[fcredi]

Very useful! Thx Caya! Always great insights and thx for the effort :)

[gjamiejmz]

Hi Caya, do you have a list of the 105 companies? I am looking to apply for a Business Development Role (Sales) in tech and I have been trying to find a comprehensive list of SaaS companies to apply to. Best wishes.
