Compare competitor prices before you set yours
Each competitor's plans, limits and cost for a typical customer in one sheet, with a suggested price range.
- You start it: When you start it
What it does
The task
Open the pricing pages of competitors. For each plan, record the monthly and the yearly price, the unit (seat, user, order or usage), the main limits and the features that need a higher plan. Calculate the monthly cost of each plan for typical customer. Put the data in a new Google Sheet named Price benchmark. Then suggest a price range for my product with 3 reasons, and list the competitors that hide their prices.
- It works in G2, Capterra and Google Sheets, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
- It runs once, when you start it.
