> Might be wrong, but brief review of this appears to show the “thesis” of PriceOps is yield-based metered feature pricing The "thesis" of PriceOps is less "you must have metered feature pricing", and more "you should design your infrastructure so that you can learn from and adjust pricing in the future". In other words, expect that your product, customers, and landscape will change, and understand that the pricing scheme (ie, what you charge for, how much you charge, and how you bundle prices into a packaged plan) will almost certainly need to change as well. > Do you have an related research to link to? Here's a selection of links to check out if you're interested in learning more about this subject. I haven't carefully reviewed each one of these to make sure they're 100% what you're asking for, but they're all things I've read and found helpful studying this topic, and many have links to more research and primary sources.
