Tiered Pricing Model for a Data Analytics Platform

Instruction: Recommend packaging and compute bills around the supplied volume-discount boundary. Explain what remains unvalidated about willingness to pay.

Context:

Fictional analytics-platform case. Proposed Starter plan: $100 per account-month, up to five seats, standard reports. Proposed Team plan: $300 per account-month including ten seats and shared workflows; seats 11–50 cost $20 each per month; only seats above 50 cost $18 each per month. Team cost assumption: $80 per account-month plus $5 per enabled seat. Calculate Team bills and contribution for 10, 11, 50 and 51 seats. Prices exclude taxes; seats are billed for the full month with no proration. Included usage is bounded by a published allowance; no unlimited API claim is permitted. Small firms and growing teams are hypotheses, not measured customer segments.

For n Team seats, bill = $300 + $20 × min(max(n − 10, 0), 40) + $18 × max(n − 50, 0)...
