Common value metrics by product type:
For most B2B SaaS, produce a 3-tier structure:
Tier 1 — Free / Starter
Purpose: PLG motion, individual adoption, land
Value metric: [limited version of core metric]
Price: $0 OR $[low, individual-affordable]
Limits: [what triggers upgrade — not punishment, but natural ceiling]
Tier 2 — Pro / Team
Purpose: Team adoption, beachhead expansion
Value metric: [team-scale version]
Price: $[X/month per seat or per metric unit]
Includes: [3-5 things Starter doesn't have]

Purpose: Large account capture, compliance/security buyers
Value metric: [volume + features]
Price: "Contact us" or $[Y/year]

## Upgrade Path
[How a customer naturally grows from Tier 1 to Tier 3]
## Pricing Page Copy
[Headline, sub-headline, and feature comparison table]
