One variable at a time
I change only one lever per test—anchor, package, or discount. Multiple changes make the signal useless and erode trust.
A/B the narrative, not just the number
I test two narratives for the same price. Sometimes framing the value beats changing the price point itself.
Keep the test window short
Most pricing learning happens within two weeks. I cap experiments at 14 days and decide fast to avoid customer whiplash.
Protect early adopters
Existing customers keep their pricing for 12 months. Stability matters more than squeezing short-term ARR.
Write the learning memo
Every experiment ends with a memo: hypothesis, outcome, next move. These notes are gold when the team changes.
