Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use token-based or subscription pricing?
Token-based: Good if usage varies widely (chatbots, search). Subscription: Good if usage is predictable (writing assistants, coding helpers). Hybrid: Best of both worlds.
What's a healthy SaaS gross margin for AI products?
Target 60-75% gross margin. This covers sales, support, infra, R&D. Below 60%: unsustainable. Above 80%: possibly underpricing. Balance profitability with market competitiveness.
How do I handle variable costs with fixed pricing?
Set pricing based on 80th percentile usage (assume worst case). Add safeguards: monthly token limits, rate throttling, or pay-as-you-go overages. Monitor and adjust quarterly.
