Hi,
Anyone who has developed a paid online service - how did you go about pricing it? Do you use a set formula for each service? Do you do it yourself or get an accountant to handle it?
Thanks

Re: pricing a service
Seems to me, a good way of doing it would be to find your closest competitors and average yourself somewhere in between. Price to low, and you seem cheap and desperate, price to high, and you better be offering extreme value added services or something, in between is always good.

Re: pricing a service
The best is to calculate costs on monthly or annual basis (it depends how do you sell) as well as the desired profit margins. You also have to watch at the competition.
