Selecting the Right Pricing Model
Compare and choose between fixed, usage-based, and hybrid pricing models for your Web3 project
Usage-based pricing has become a well-established model in SaaS, valued for its flexibility and alignment with customer activity.
For Web3 projects, combining usage-based elements with other pricing models can create a balanced approach that supports both user adoption and sustainable revenue. Here are some different models:
Hybrid Model: Combines a fixed subscription fee as a base with variable usage charges for technical components like transactions or storage. This approach aligns costs with actual usage while providing predictable baseline revenue.
Tiered Pricing: Offers a free tier up to a certain threshold, then basic/pro/enterprise options with increasing features. This model helps users try your service with minimal commitment before upgrading.
Pure Usage-Based: Charges directly per transaction or user, creating perfect alignment between costs and revenue but potentially less predictability.
