How to manage different SaaS subscriptions?

Question

How do you guys handle various and changing subscription tiers? Do you just code this yourself? I&rsquo;m using stripe but I mean for the various schemes. I&rsquo;m thinking of trying out $35/mo which is the small company package. It includes access for 5 users, with each additional user costing $10. I might also want to try out $5 per user or $10 per user, or adjust that former package a bit.My software is super early and I&rsquo;m not charging yet. Just me working solo for about a month or two so far so a long way to go. I&rsquo;m dog-fooding my own software and getting feedback, and hoping to open it up in the next few months or so. Because it would be so sparse I doubt I can charge more than a few bucks but I want to raise prices for new customers asap as new features come online.My ultimate goal would be to charge $40 or more per user but that&rsquo;s a ways off, and try to compete with some incumbents that charge like 100 plus dollars a user.

You have no customers whose subscriptions to manage yet. Thinking about this at this stage is a distraction.You're getting feedback; what's the market saying? What are your potential customers doing? What are you learning? Are you making sure you're not being tossed around by frivolous feature requests tied to a hint of a hypothetical purchase if implemented?
