Pre-Launch Billing Review for SaaS Companies Shipping Pricing Changes
Before you ship new plans, usage-based pricing, or a packaging change on Stripe, I review the implementation end-to-end and tell you what's going to break.
You've decided on the new pricing. Engineering has started building. Somewhere between the spreadsheet your team agreed on and the Stripe configuration that goes live, things tend to go wrong — grandfathering gets messy, entitlements drift from what customers are paying for, CRM and Stripe stop agreeing on who's on which plan, and the analytics you'll need to judge whether the new pricing is working quietly stop being trustworthy. The cost of fixing these after launch is significant. I help you catch them before launch.
What you get
A two-week engagement producing a written review covering:
- Plan and price modelling in Stripe — how the new pricing will be represented, and where the model will create friction down the line
- Customer impact analysis — who moves to the new plan, who stays, how grandfathering is structured, what the rules need to be
- Entitlement integration — where billing connects to the product, and where the two will drift under the new model
- CRM ↔ Stripe alignment — how customer records will stay (or fail to stay) consistent across the new plans
- Reporting and analytics impact — what your MRR, ARR, and cohort numbers will look like after launch, and where they'll stop being trustworthy
- Rollout sequencing — the order in which to ship the change without breaking active customers
- Post-launch monitoring — what to watch in the first 30 days
Deliverable: a written report and a 90-minute readout call with whoever needs to hear it.
Who this is for
B2B SaaS companies running Stripe-based billing, typically €3–20M ARR, in the EU or US, planning a meaningful pricing or packaging change in the next 1–6 months. This includes:
- Moving from per-seat to usage-based or hybrid pricing
- Introducing new plan tiers or restructuring existing ones
- Adding metered or consumption-based components alongside subscription pricing
- Harmonising pricing across products after an acquisition or merger
Who I am
I'm Tomas. I've spent 20+ years as a senior engineer and architect, the last several of those building and maintaining Stripe-based billing systems for SaaS companies — including the integration with product entitlements, CRM, and revenue analytics. I'm a technical implementation specialist, not a pricing strategist. I work with what you've decided to charge; I make sure it ships cleanly.
How to start
A 30-minute scoping call. I'll talk through your situation and give you a fixed-fee proposal.
