Tiered pricing is becoming the simplest way to sell AI-powered SaaS without turning your pricing page into a technical explanation. In my interview with Dan Balcauski, founder and Chief Pricing Officer at Product Tranquility, we talked about why AI is forcing new pricing decisions earlier than ever—and why "good, better, best" packaging often works because it keeps buying decisions clear while helping companies manage real AI costs.  The AI era is making pricing margin-aware again. Tiered pricing helps you protect margins without forcing buyers to learn your cost structure.  About Dan Balcauski Dan Balcauski is the founder and Chief Pricing Officer at Product Tranquility, where he helps high-volume B2B SaaS CEOs define pricing and packaging for new products. He is a TopTal certified Top 3% Product Management Professional and helps teach Kellogg Executive Education course on Product Strategy. Over the last 15 years, Dan has managed products across the full lifecycle—from concept incubation to launch, platform transitions, maintenance, and end of life—across consumer and B2B companies ranging from startups to publicly traded enterprises. He previously served as Head of Product at LawnStarter and was a Principal Product Strategist at SolarWinds. Why Tiered Pricing Is Winning in the AI Era For years, SaaS companies could price mostly around value because marginal costs were relatively stable. AI changes the math. Dan points out that companies are now cutting meaningful monthly checks to model providers, and leadership teams can't pretend cost-to-serve is irrelevant anymore.  That's a big reason tiered pricing is showing up everywhere right now. It gives teams a way to: Keep the offer simple for buyers Put premium capabilities where they belong Create a natural upgrade path that aligns with value and cost Most importantly, tiered pricing keeps you out of the weeds. The customer conversation stays focused on outcomes, not infrastructure. What Makes Tiered Pricing Actually Work Dan's point isn't "just shove AI into the top tier." Tiered pricing works when plan differences are easy to understand and tied to value drivers customers already recognize.  Here are three practical patterns from the discussion that hold up well in the AI era. 1) Put AI in higher tiers when it boosts a user's output If an AI feature makes a person more effective—faster drafting, better triage, higher quality responses—tiering can be straightforward. The buyer already understands why a "Better" or "Best" plan costs more: it changes the capability of the team.  This is also why seat-based pricing can still make sense for many AI-enhanced tools. If the value driver is still "help my team do better work," then users/seats remain an intuitive anchor.  If AI increases team productivity, tiered pricing can stay aligned to seats—because seats still map to value.  2) Use add-ons when AI changes the value driver Sometimes AI doesn't just "help" the user—it replaces work entirely. When that happens, forcing it into the same tier structure can distort value and create confusion. Dan points to Intercom as a strong example of handling this well: The core support platform stays priced per user (agents), because the value driver is agent effectiveness. Their AI agent ("Fin AI") is priced separately because the agent isn't involved—the value is the number of issues the AI resolves. That's why per-resolution pricing makes sense.  3) Don't make buyers learn token math Dan's strongest warning is about token pricing. Customers don't want to learn what tokens are, and sales teams don't want to explain them—especially when you're selling a business outcome like faster support or better customer experience.  Token-based pricing also shifts the conversation away from value and toward your vendor bill. As Dan puts it, customers don't care about your infrastructure costs, and pushing that complexity into the buying motion adds friction.  If your tiered pricing requires a footnote explaining tokens, you're adding sand in the gears.  A Tiered Pricing Checklist for AI Features Here's a simple way to apply this immediately: Good: Core workflow value, minimal AI (or AI where costs are predictable) Better: AI that boosts team output (speed, quality, throughput) Best: AI that drives outcomes at scale (automation, deflection, resolution) Add-on: Use when AI has a different value driver than the base product (example: per-resolution)  Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

Episode DescriptionAI is fundamentally changing how SaaS companies should think about pricing. When your software makes teams 70% more efficient, charging per seat means you're literally shrinking your own market. In this conversation, product management veteran Lee Bridges explains why seat-based pricing is a burning platform and what comes next.Lee, returning to the podcast after five years, recently led a pricing transformation project that forced him to confront an uncomfortable truth: AI-driven efficiency gains directly reduce the number of seats customers need. His solution? Outcome-based pricing that aligns incentives between vendors and customers while future-proofing against AI disruption.GuestLee Bridges - Cheif Product Officer at Inn-Flow, father, audio engineer, and vibe coder who recently completed a major pricing transformation project for a B2B SaaS company in the field service space.Key Topics CoveredThe Seat-Based Pricing ProblemHow AI efficiency reduces Total Addressable Market (TAM)The misalignment of incentives between vendors and customersInternal team conflicts created by per-seat modelsWhy "reducing a team from 10 to 3" destroys 70% of your revenue potentialOutcome-Based Pricing ExplainedThe difference between usage-based and outcome-based pricingHow to identify and price meaningful outcomesThe psychology of "you make money when your customer makes money"Avoiding the "nickel and diming" feeling of usage-based modelsReal-World ImplementationCase study: Field service sales teams (20 minutes to 90 seconds per quote)Tiered prepayment models with outcome "credits"Combining platform fees with outcome pricingWhen outcome-based pricing works (and when it doesn't)The Future of SaaS and AIWhy B2B SaaS isn't going anywhere despite AI hypeThe problem with expecting everyone to be a product managerConsistency, training, and the limits of LLM-generated experiencesVibe coding and no-code tools in practiceNotable Quotes"If you create efficiencies that make a process so efficient that some number of people will no longer be necessary... you reduce the number of potential seats. You reduce the Tam.""If I give you a dollar and you're going to give me $10 back, I'd be insane to not do that as many times as I can.""You're really expecting everyone on Earth to be a product manager. That's just not going to happen.""The most people don't have a high level of agency. They don't know what they want, when they want it, and they don't know how to describe it."Practical TakeawaysEvaluate your pricing model now - If you're charging per seat and building AI features, you're creating a strategic vulnerabilityStart with new products - Test outcome-based pricing with new offerings rather than risking existing revenueIdentify measurable outcomes tied to customer revenue - What metrics does your sales team already use when discussing ROI?Consider hybrid models - Platform fees plus outcome pricing can balance predictability with value alignmentThe complexity trade-off - Outcome-based pricing must remain simple enough to avoid litigation-inducing confusion

This legislative session, lawmakers are working on addressing the state's housing shortage by continuing to reform the state's permitting and land use laws.This work began in 2024 with the passage of Act 181, which made significant changes to Vermont's signature land use law, known as Act 250. Act 181 divides the state into three tiers, each with different requirements for development. The new law places more of an emphasis on the location of the project rather than the project's size.A roundtable of guests discussed Act 181 as well as future legislative changes to spur housing development: Miro Weinberger, executive chair of Let's Build Homes and the former mayor of Burlington; Kati Gallagher, sustainable communities program director at the Vermont Natural Resources Council; and Zeke Davisson, the chief operating officer of Summit Properties. Plus, Rep. Laura Sibilia, an Independent from Dover, discussed her concerns about Act 181's impact on rural communities.

Marti sits down with Jamie and Brady, best mates and founders of a Brisbane-based bathroom renovation company. They share their journey from running separate sole trader businesses to joining forces over a "drunken conversation" and building a specialized renovation brand. They discuss the harsh reality of their first year where they acted more like a "marketing agency" than a building company—spending big to block in jobs but realizing at the end of the year they had nothing to show for it. Jamie and Brady reveal how they cut their overheads, implemented a strict "Default Diary" to stop the chaos, and shifted from being "good builders" to actual business owners. They also break down their specific tiered pricing model (marking up jobs under $50k by 60%) and how they are scaling to 13 jobs starting in the new year.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Eric Svedberg breaks down a smarter, more profitable way to price diagnostic work—what he calls the Level Testing Sales Amplifier. At its core, the system tackles a problem most repair shops quietly accept: testing is often a loss leader. When technicians are tied up diagnosing complex issues, shops miss out on parts sales. A-level technicians can earn less than their B-level counterparts doing routine work, and the rising cost of software and tools goes unpaid. Svedberg reframes the conversation by using the word “testing” instead of “diagnostics,” a term he believes is clearer and more intuitive for customers. Testing implies a process, not a guarantee—setting expectations from the start. The Level Testing system uses a tiered structure tied to the shop's base labor rate: Level One – Basic Testing:Single, constant, duplicable issues (like a check engine light that's always on).Level Two – Intermediate Testing:Multiple concerns or intermittent problems.Level Three – Pandora's Box:Highly complex vehicles, often previously misdiagnosed or unsuccessfully repaired elsewhere.Level Four – “Grandmother Rate”:Disaster cars involving severe electrical damage, corrosion, or major disassembly. While the levels are designed as an internal framework, Svedberg finds transparency with customers increases trust and buy-in. Service advisors are coached to remove Level Three from most conversations upfront, steer customers toward Level Two testing as the norm, and clearly explain that testing fees are for time spent—not credited toward repairs. For true Level Three cases, advisors frame the value honestly: if it were simple, another shop would have already fixed it. Svedberg emphasizes that the system is easy to train and implement—often within a week—by focusing on quick wins with top advisors. Its simplicity improves communication, closes the tech efficiency gap, and can be applied beyond diagnostics to services like module programming and ADAS calibration. Every decision, he says, must pass the test: Is it good for the car? Good for the customer? Good for the shop?

Jessica Wynn uncovers Black Friday's dark secrets — fake discounts, cheaper products, and manufactured urgency — on this week's Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1245On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Black Friday "deals" are often illusions. Many retailers quietly raise prices weeks before, then discount back to regular prices, creating fake savings that trigger dopamine responses rather than actual financial benefits.Tiered manufacturing means bargains are literally inferior products. Companies create cheaper versions of items specifically for Black Friday sales, using plastic instead of metal parts and downgraded components you won't notice until they fail.The shopping frenzy is engineered chaos. Retailers deliberately create urgency and scarcity to exploit loss aversion, where the pain of missing a discount feels greater than the pleasure of getting the item itself.Scammers weaponize Black Friday urgency. Phishing sites, fake URLs, and fraudulent sellers exploit the fast-paced nature of Black Friday sales to steal personal information and payment details from rushed shoppers.You can outsmart the system by planning ahead. Create a wishlist of genuinely needed items before sales begin, compare model numbers, check price histories with tools like CamelCamelCamel, and only buy what you already planned to purchase.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Doug sits down with Dr. Victor Carsrud, Head of Functional Medicine & Health Innovation at Breather Mae, to map a no-fluff health playbook for high-demand performers—rodeo athletes, ranchers, farmers, and anyone who works hard. We dig into why "test, don't guess" matters, how a simple Gut Check unlocks better hormone balance and recovery, and the panels most annual physicals miss (full thyroid with antibodies, prolactin for pituitary stress, micronutrients, organic acids). We also get real on environmental toxins (mold, microplastics, PFAS), what to eat on the road, and why 30g protein within 30 minutes of waking changes your day. What you'll learn Why TSH alone isn't enough: add Free T3/T4 + TPO/TG antibodies How gut → brain → hormones all connect (and why it's step one) When prolactin flags pituitary stress (think head hits/endocrine disruptors) "Test don't guess" supplements (yes, vitamin D can be too high) Tiered testing: Baseline → Tier 1/2 → Tier 3 → Olympiad Real-world fueling for the road: protein-first wins for energy & focus. Chapters 00:00 Intro & access-anywhere functional medicine 02:15 What basic labs miss (TSH ≠ full thyroid picture) 08:40 Coaching model: from "doctor knows best" to partnership 10:45 Gut ↔ brain ↔ hormones—no more silos 15:00 You can't out-supplement bad data 21:00 Why proactive labs matter in dangerous sports & work 27:10 Low T in roughstock?

Critics argue that the Epstein–Maxwell–Prince Andrew saga showcased the two-tier justice system in stark relief. Epstein's infamous 2008 Florida plea deal, which let him plead guilty to lesser state charges and avoid sweeping federal prosecution, has been described as the clearest example of justice bending for the powerful. Critics note that any ordinary defendant facing similar charges would likely have received decades in federal prison rather than a lenient sentence that allowed Epstein day release and minimal oversight.In contrast, Maxwell became the only major figure from Epstein's circle to face a lengthy prison term, while many alleged co-conspirators avoided charges altogether. Prince Andrew, despite being accused in a civil suit brought by Virginia Giuffre, evaded criminal liability entirely and settled quietly out of court without admitting wrongdoing. To survivors and legal critics, the contrast makes clear that elite figures with wealth, influence, and royal status have means to shield themselves from consequences that others would inevitably face.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein's operation cannot be understood through the lens of a traditional sex trafficking ring. Unlike figures such as Heidi Fleiss, Epstein wasn't in it for monetary gain or running a transactional enterprise. His network operated on two levels: the first was driven by his personal compulsions, where he targeted vulnerable high school girls in Palm Beach and New York to satisfy his own deviance. The second level was more strategic—trafficked women, often brought in by Ghislaine Maxwell or Jean-Luc Brunel, were used as leverage, positioned before powerful men in Epstein's properties to entangle them in compromise and silence.This dual structure transformed his crimes into something far more insidious than prostitution or trafficking-for-profit. Epstein weaponized abuse itself, turning victims not only into prey but into tools of influence. The men who participated weren't mere clients—they became co-conspirators, drawn into a system where their indulgence bound them to Epstein's web of secrecy and power. In this sense, Epstein's empire was less about sex as commerce and more about sex as control, creating a machinery of corruption that blurred every line between victim, perpetrator, and accomplice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Send us a textIf you draft running backs on vibes, you're playing with fire. Today we tier every fantasy RB for 2025—who can realistically finish RB1 and who's just name value. We debate Bijan vs Gibbs, how much to trust CMC's health, whether Derrick Henry in BAL still has league-winning juice, why A-Chan is all about QB health, and the best value/volume targets (Kyren, Chase Brown, Josh Jacobs, Jonathan Taylor, Kamara, Kenneth Walker, Chuba, Swift, Pacheco, RJ Harvey, TreVeyon Henderson, Omarion Hampton, James Conner, Breece Hall and more). Plus, real draft-room tactics: when to pivot tiers, handcuff logic, and WR-heavy room counterpunches.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What happens when money and power collide with justice? Crime investigator Thomas Hampson takes us deep into the troubling world of Jeffrey Epstein's case, revealing the stark double standards in our legal system.The conversation exposes a stunning contrast: Keith Ranieri received a 120-year sentence and RICO charges for his cult involving 21 victims, while Epstein faced minimal charges despite evidence of over 1,000 victims across multiple countries. This glaring disparity raises profound questions about who our justice system truly serves.Hampson reveals how JPMorgan Chase handled over a billion dollars in transactions linked to suspected human trafficking from Epstein, with evidence suggesting reports were deliberately suppressed. When powerful figures like Bill Barr have connections to cases they oversee, how can we trust the system to deliver equal justice?Visit Tom Hampson's SubStack, For this Story and more. Support the show

Jeffrey Epstein is the clearest, most grotesque embodiment of America's two-tier justice system—one for the powerful, and one for everyone else. Despite being a known predator for decades, with dozens of survivor testimonies, law enforcement reports, and sealed settlements pointing directly to his crimes, Epstein was allowed to operate with near impunity. When finally charged in 2007, he was handed a secret non-prosecution agreement brokered behind closed doors by federal prosecutors who prioritized protecting his elite co-conspirators over serving justice. While average citizens rot in prison for far less, Epstein served a laughable 13 months in a cushy private wing of a county jail—with daily work release privileges that let him leave for 12 hours a day, six days a week. He didn't just beat the system; the system rolled over for him.Everything about Epstein's case reeks of the privileges granted to the ultra-wealthy and well-connected. From his ties to billionaires, royalty, and politicians, to the way prosecutors, media outlets, and intelligence-linked institutions shielded him, Epstein's entire existence was a masterclass in how influence warps the justice system. Survivors were ignored, whistleblowers silenced, and journalists discredited—all to keep the machinery of protection intact. When Epstein was finally rearrested in 2019, it wasn't because the system suddenly started working—it was because public pressure and investigative persistence made the cover-up unsustainable. His story is not just about one predator—it's a flashing red siren warning that in America, justice isn't blind. It's bought.Ask ChatGPTTo contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://torontosun.com/news/world/hunter-prince-andrew-and-ghislaine-maxwell-should-get-cops-
