Use case: usage-based pricing

Use this flow to set a per-unit price from unit costs, fixed overhead, and target gross margin, then sanity-check it against a seat-based plan.

Recommended steps

  1. Back into a required unit price: usage-based pricing calculator
  2. Translate unit pricing into a seat plan comparison: seat vs usage pricing comparison
  3. If your product is API-first, convert to a monthly plan price: API pricing calculator

Notes

  • Model multiple scenarios: average customer vs heavy user (p50 vs p90 usage).
  • Separate truly fixed overhead from per-usage vendor costs for cleaner unit economics.
  • Use share links to align on assumptions before you pick tiers or minimums.
