Pricing expertise that works across your business.
We bring product value, customer needs and commercial goals into the same pricing decisions. With your management and teams, we build a model that supports profitability and lasting customer relationships.
What you can expect from Valpex
First-hand SaaS experience
We know subscription models, packaging, value metrics and existing-customer migrations from consulting and from our own operational responsibility.
AI pricing grounded in value and costs
We assess how customers use your AI offering, where it creates value and what it costs to deliver. These trade-offs guide the pricing metric, packaging and margin protection.
Direct collaboration across your business
We work with founders, management and product, sales and finance teams. The people who make pricing decisions and those who implement them help shape the solution from the start.
A clear, focused start
A modular pricing audit identifies where to act first. Initial analysis usually begins within one week; we agree the scope, timing and data needed in the intro call.
Scope that fits the task
We focus on the decisions with the greatest commercial impact and build on the data and knowledge already in your business. The scope reflects your goals, resources and capacity to implement.
Performance-linked fees on request
Alongside traditional consulting mandates, we offer performance-linked models by agreement. Part of our fee can be tied to jointly defined commercial outcomes.
Pricing your team can run
Clear decision rights, pricing rules, training and customer communication make the new model part of daily work. Your team understands the logic and can manage and improve it after launch.
How to find the right pricing consultancy.
Start with the pricing decisions ahead, the expertise you need and the people who will put the changes into practice. Use these questions to compare what each engagement would deliver.
Three questions to guide your choice
Does the consultancy understand your business model?
Ask how the provider assesses customer value, usage, costs and growth opportunities. Relevant experience should translate into choices that fit your product and customers.
Is the scope clear and practical?
Compare the decisions to be made, deliverables, budget and time needed from your team. At Valpex, a modular pricing audit gives you a concrete action plan that you can implement independently or with our support.
Who supports the implementation?
Clarify who involves management and the relevant teams, prepares systems and customer communication, and checks results after launch. The proposal should explain how recommendations become everyday practice.
Our work together starts with a pricing audit.
A manageable first step before you invest in a larger project. The audit is modular, so its scope follows your starting point.
You receive a concrete action plan that turns weak spots and untapped potential into prioritized measures.
What the audit covers
Analyze your starting point
We analyze your current pricing and packaging and the commercial data behind them: prices, discounts, contracts and usage.
Shed light on current challenges
We show where your pricing loses value today, for example through discounting, churn, weak expansion or new products without clear monetisation.
Conduct targeted interviews
Conversations with your team in sales, product and finance uncover weak spots and untapped potential. On request, we also join customer interviews and sales calls.
After the audit
Implement it yourself
Your team implements the action plan on its own, with clear priorities and no further commitment.
Implement it with us
We implement the plan as your partner, alongside your team, from design and testing through to go-live.
