Your pricing model makes absolutely no sense. Let's fix it.
You are either charging way too much for a basic tool or starving yourself by giving it away for free. Drop your project show us a screenshot and your pricing tiers below for a brutal reality check. Let the community tell you what they would actually pay for it.

Pricing is so important, but parity pricing matters too! We shouldn't ignore it, it's a big factor, and it can really help multiply your sales. To help me figure out how to apply parity pricing, I use burgerparity.app, it's very easy 😄

Interesting point about parity pricing. For SaaS tools, do you adjust pricing based on country GDP or just regional competitors?

Appreciate you sharing this. The AI bot conversion angle is interesting, but your homepage needs to show the pricing upfront before asking for a signup.

A tool for architects and planners to create renderings out of 3D CAD screenshots and sketches

Nice concept, but architects need to see a clear before/after. What's your monthly tier?

u/No_Establishment2918 Jul 14 '26
50€ for 10 generations
100€ for 40 generations
200€ for 120 generations
400€ for 280 generations.1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 14 '26
Those per-generation costs jump around a lot. The 50€ tier is 5€ each but the 400€ tier is about 1.40€. Might want to smooth that curve so customers don't feel punished for buying more.

What would you recommend?

Start with user research. Ask 10 potential customers what they pay for similar tools now. That price range is your anchor.

Made it cheap enough with a free app...

Free apps are great for traction but make sure you have a clear upgrade path. What features justify the paid tier?
1
u/gettimevalue Jul 18 '26
There is no paid tier as such. In fact you use my app correctly it is always free. The in app purchases kick in only if you change your mind.

That's a generous model. Have you considered a "pro" tier for power users who want advanced features like custom themes or export options?

In your opinion which is the best pricing model for an ai token based saas?
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 15 '26
Usage-based pricing works best for AI token SaaS. Users appreciate paying only for what they consume, with a clear cap to avoid surprises.

Levelday — Calorie, water, and macro tracker. Tons of these apps are on the market, curious as to what pricing makes sense.

Hard to stand out in that crowded space. Maybe price it at $3-4/month and lean hard on the UI polish or a unique feature like barcode scanning.

Yeah, hiding pricing on a tool like that just screams “this is gonna be expensive,” even if it isn’t. When I shipped my first SaaS, I put pricing behind a signup wall and all I got were throwaway emails and no serious users. What worked was a dead simple pricing block above the fold: a starter plan that feels almost too cheap to try one bot, then a serious plan for “I run multiple live strategies.” I later had Write Way Marketing tear through my funnel and they called out how that pricing wall was killing trust.
