That’s why choosing a pricing strategy is not something you want to play with. In this eBook, we will show you how to adopt an effective pricing strategy for your SaaS business, all while reviewing industry trends and best practices.


Kaspersky Labs was looking to increase their acquisition revenue and recurring annual revenue by optimizing their shopping cart.

Their tweaks generated an 18% increase in revenue per visitor and a 19% decrease in the auto-renewal opt-out rate.
