Devtools Pricing Strategy

Designs the pricing and packaging architecture of a developer tool - the value metric (seats, consumption, capacity, outcome, or a hybrid), free-tier limits, the tier ladder up to enterprise gating, price points bounded by a margin floor and the self-host and build-it ceilings, and a plan to change prices without a backlash. Use whenever someone asks what to charge for a developer tool, how to package tiers, where free ends and paid begins, whether to bill per seat or per usage, how to price against their own open-source edition, or how to raise prices safely - even if they only say the pricing page feels wrong. Not which business model to run - use samber/developer-relations-skills@devtools-business-model. Not pricing-page copy.
