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.

DALL-E Prompt for Comparing Offers

Comparing commercial offers can quickly become tedious when limited to text. DALL-E, OpenAI's image generation model, offers a radically different approach: turning comparative data into clear, impactful visuals. Whether weighing two phone plans, multiple SaaS subscriptions, or vendor quotes, a well-designed comparative visual lets you grasp the differences at a glance. DALL-E's value here is twofold. First, it lets you create stylized comparative infographics without graphic design skills. Second, it produces visuals you can immediately use for presentations, blog posts, or social media. By crafting a precise prompt that describes the desired layout, the elements to compare, and the graphic style, you get a professional image that synthesizes information visually. This guide provides an optimized prompt for generating side-by-side offer comparisons with DALL-E, along with variants tailored to your expertise level and specific needs.
