In the financial systems/trading world high per-user pricing is considered normal.

Most "investment information"-type products are 25K-50K/user/year.

It's likely some people here will consider this low pricing, but it's a significantly different pricing model to the sell cheap, stack high $9 to $50/user/month type app.



That's only for products addressed to traders, a very limited audience. For example the bloomberg terminal that sits on their desk.

That pricing model is not applied to most information, like pricing data and any sort of API, because these are not about physical users. (They do charge a ton but not per user).

It's not, actually. There's a bunch of financial information products that aren't aimed at traders that are around this price point.

Pitchbook is a good example. $30k/year.

And the whole point is that it's a limited number of people. The price has to be high to make it worthwhile.

There's a bunch of markets like this where your pricing advice isn't correct and that needs to be noted.
