Pricing and licensing models
The pricing model per product, where a midsize+ buyer lands and when to hand off to sales. No numbers: always link the live page, because prices change.
Summary
- Never copy prices, discounts or thresholds into docs, ads or emails. Link the live page.
- How to talk about price: lead with value and total cost of ownership (time saved, build-versus-buy, fewer tools to run), then predictability (flat or per-application options, no per-server or royalty fees where true, capped AI usage). Don’t use discount language to open or close.
- Hand off to sales whenever the buyer needs a quote, PO, custom terms, a security review or a volume beyond self-serve.
