Pricing as a product
Most teams treat pricing as a number to set once and revisit annually. Companies that compound treat it as a product surface that ships and iterates.
Pricing is one of the highest-leverage product decisions a company makes — yet it usually gets less iteration than a button color. Teams set a price, debate it endlessly, ship it once, then leave it alone for two years.
Pricing has all the same dynamics
Customer segments. Activation friction. Expansion paths. Churn triggers. Pricing changes affect every one of them, often more than feature work does. Why wouldn't you give it the same treatment as a major surface area?
Treat it like product
- Run experiments on packaging, not just numbers.
- Watch the metric you're trying to move, not just MRR.
- Ship grandfathering carefully — pricing changes are PR events.
- Revisit at least quarterly, even if the answer is "no change."
