Pricing isn’t just a number. It’s perception.
Two products with the same price can perform very differently depending on how that price is presented. A plan that feels expensive in one context can feel like a great deal in another.
Customers rarely evaluate prices rationally. Instead they rely on comparisons, mental shortcuts, and psychological cues.
This book shows how to design pricing with those behaviors in mind.
