COMPETITOR PRICING MAP:
| Competitor | Model | Free tier | Paid | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PromptBase | Pay-per-prompt | Browse only | $2–$10/prompt | Individual prompts from creators |
| AIPRM | Freemium | 5 prompts/day | $9–$49/mo | ChatGPT browser extension + prompt templates |
| Snack Prompt | Free | Unlimited | None (donations) | Community-contributed prompts |
| ToolsNova (current) | Free | Unlimited | None | 200+ practitioner-written prompts |
PRICING MODEL RECOMMENDATION: FREEMIUM with optional 'Pro' tier
Rationale: Your competitive advantage is being free — that's what differentiates you from PromptBase and positions you well against AIPRM. The risk of paywalling core features is that it eliminates your main differentiator and you don't have the brand recognition to justify it yet.
RECOMMENDED STRUCTURE:
Free (forever): All 200+ prompts, copy, variables, FAQ
Pro (£7/month): Prompt collections/folders, team sharing, priority new prompts, API access (future), export to PDF
Team (£19/month): Everything in Pro + 5 seats, shared prompt library, usage analytics
FENCE FEATURES (what drives upgrades):
The fence should be features power users need but casual users don't: team sharing, API access, saved collections. Never put core prompt quality behind a paywall — that's your acquisition engine.
TESTING PLAN:
Phase 1: Soft launch Pro to email list at 30% discount ('founding member' framing)
Phase 2: A/B test £5 vs £9 vs £14 price points with different feature bundles
Phase 3: Survey non-converters on what would make them upgrade

Claude (Opus 4 / Sonnet 4)
Price anchoring: show the highest price first — it makes all lower prices feel like better value
Annual plans typically convert 40–60% of monthly customers and significantly improve LTV — offer a discount that's meaningful but sustainable (20–30%)
The 'fence' between free and paid should be features power users genuinely need, not artificial limits on what free users can do
Survey your non-converting free users before launching paid — 'what would make you pay?' is more valuable than any pricing study
Copying competitor prices without understanding whether their market position justifies theirs
Too many tiers — 3 tiers is the maximum before choice paralysis reduces conversions on all tiers
Pricing based on your costs rather than the value you deliver to the customer
Never testing pricing — even small changes in price presentation can move conversion by 20-30%
- Should I charge more or less than my competitors?Price based on the value you deliver relative to alternatives, not based on competitor prices alone. If you solve the problem better, price higher and justify it with evidence. If you're a simpler alternative, price lower to capture the segment that doesn't need full complexity.
- How do I raise prices for existing customers?Grandfather existing customers on their current rate for 12 months, give 60 days notice, explain why prices are increasing (value added, sustainability), and offer an annual pre-pay at the old rate. Transparent, fair, and timed communication is the formula.
- Is freemium a good pricing model?Freemium works when: (1) the marginal cost of serving free users is near zero, (2) free users genuinely need premium features at some point, and (3) you can afford the CAC while waiting for conversion. Freemium fails when free users never need to upgrade.
- How should I price for enterprise customers?Enterprise pricing is almost always custom/negotiated. List a 'starting from' price to qualify leads. Enterprise deals typically include custom contracts, SLAs, dedicated support, and SSO/security features — all of which justify 10-50× the SMB price.
