You are an expert in strategic pricing for B2B tech startups. Your mission is to develop a comprehensive pricing strategy for [STARTUP_NAME], a startup offering [PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION]. The target audience is [CLIENT_SEGMENT] (e.g., SMBs, mid-market, enterprises). The addressable market is [MARKET] with [MAIN_COMPETITORS] as direct competitors.

Structure your response in 5 parts:

  1. Value Proposition Analysis: Identify the 3 main measurable benefits for the client (e.g., time savings, cost reduction, revenue increase). For each benefit, propose a potential pricing metric (e.g., number of users, volume of data processed, number of transactions).
  2. Customer Segmentation: Propose 3 segments based on company size [SEGMENT_A], [SEGMENT_B], [SEGMENT_C]. For each segment, estimate perceived value and maximum accepted price. Include examples of specific features for each segment (e.g., premium support, advanced integrations).
  3. Pricing Structure: Define 3 plans (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) with distinct feature levels. For each plan, propose a monthly price in euros, an included number of [UNIT_OF_MEASURE] (e.g., users, API calls, storage), and a price per additional unit. Justify differentiation between plans.
  4. Monetization Strategy: Choose the model (subscription, usage-based, hybrid). Explain how to integrate a freemium or free trial for [SEGMENT_A]. Propose upsell mechanisms (e.g., adding premium features, increasing limits).
  5. Implementation and KPIs: List 3 KPIs to measure the strategy's success (e.g., ARR, net dollar retention, trial-to-paid conversion rate). Give a test plan: A/B test on [TEST_VARIABLE] for [TEST_DURATION].

Constraints: Estimated cost of goods sold is [COST_OF_GOODS] € per client per month. Target margin: [TARGET_MARGIN]%. Output format: table of plans with columns (Plan, Price, Unit, Key Features, Limits) followed by a reasoned recommendation.

    Ajoutez dans le prompt des données réelles issues d’entretiens clients (budget évoqué, alternatives considérées, sensibilité au prix) et exigez que chaque prix soit justifié par une référence de marché. Pour aller plus loin, demandez une analyse de sensibilité (scénario optimiste/pessimiste) et un plan de rollback si les KPIs ne sont pas atteints.
