What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here

Design Shopify App Pricing
Design a pricing hypothesis grounded in the Shopify App Store market. Treat the result as a testable recommendation, not proof of willingness to pay.
Required connection
Use the Applora MCP server at https://applora.ai/mcp:
search_apps({ query?, categoryHandles?, pricing?, builtForShopify?, minRating?, maxRating?, sort?, cursor?, limit? })get_app({ handle, includeChanges?, includeCategoryRanks?, changeTypes?, limit? })live_get_app({ handle, includeDescription?, includePricing?, includeCompatibility? })get_app_reviews({ handle, rating?, hasContent?, cursor?, limit? })live_get_app_reviews({ handle, page?, sortBy?, rating?, hasContent?, limit? })get_category({ handle, includeRankedApps?, rankedAppsLimit? })get_app_changes({ handle, changeTypes?, limit? })
Workflow
- Define the target segment, job-to-be-done, value metric, product maturity, and pricing decision.
- Build a relevant comparison set from the category and direct substitutes. Avoid mixing unrelated enterprise and SMB products.
- Fetch current pricing live for the closest competitors. Use indexed changes to identify recent pricing moves.
- Normalize offers into:
- entry mechanism: free, trial, freemium, or paid;
- value metric and tier boundaries;
- included outcomes and important limits;
- apparent target segment.
- Read bounded low- and mid-rating review samples for billing confusion, surprise charges, poor value, forced upgrades, missing tier fit, and praise for value.
- Link each complaint to packaging mechanics rather than assuming all price complaints mean "too expensive."
- Propose a good/better/best structure, value metric, guardrails, and migration path.
- Define an experiment with conversion, activation, expansion, refund, and support signals.
Guardrails
- Applora observes public listings and reviews, not competitor revenue or conversion.
- Do not invent exact willingness-to-pay figures.
- Separate current public price from inferred packaging intent.
- Avoid undercutting as the default strategy; price around differentiated value.
- State currency, billing cadence, usage assumptions, and unknowns.
Output
Return:
- a concise market benchmark;
- pricing complaints and what they actually imply;
- recommended tiers and value metric;
- positioning for each tier;
- experiment and success thresholds;
- risks and evidence still needed.
