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.

Claude Prompt to Compare Offers

Comparing offers—whether for software subscriptions, insurance, B2B suppliers, or simple online purchases—is a time-consuming task that requires rigor and method. Claude excels at this exercise thanks to its ability to structure information, identify relevant comparison criteria, and highlight subtle differences between multiple proposals. Rather than juggling between tabs or PDFs, you can provide Claude with the details of each offer and receive a clear, objective, and personalized comparative analysis based on your priorities. The AI does not just list features: it weighs criteria according to your context, flags hidden costs, identifies unfavorable clauses, and delivers a well-supported recommendation. Whether you are an individual torn between two plans or a professional buyer evaluating complex quotes, Claude turns a tedious comparison into an informed decision in minutes.
