How it works

Built by the team behind LevelSetter and ranked #1 by OpenView among software pricing consultancies — grounded in pricing architecture observed across $480B in software transactions.

Three axes. Asymmetric leverage.

The trifecta

Most diagnostics look at price first. SPP’s discipline looks at licensing first, packaging second, pricing third — because the leverage is asymmetric.

01.A

Licensing — how you charge

The meter and the terms — named user, site, floating, unlimited; commitment, term-start, co-terming. Highest upside, highest risk. When undercharging happens, the lever is almost always the meter — not the price.

Leverage
01.B

Packaging — what you sell

Editions, modules, feature gates, configuration. When customers complain about being nickel-and-dimed, the failure is usually here — not in pricing fairness.

Leverage
01.C

Pricing — what it costs

List price, discount governance, fees, cadence. When customers hedge their commitments, look here — value-trust collapse or a pricing surface with cliffs built in.

Leverage

Most pricing problems are not actually pricing problems. They are licensing or packaging problems wearing pricing clothes.
