title: "Should SaaS pricing end in 9?"
summary: "Charm pricing (prices ending in 9 like $19, $49, $99) typically converts 1 to 3% better than round pricing for B2C SaaS. For B2B SaaS, the effect is negligible and round pricing ($20, $100, $500) often signals professionalism better. The category and buyer type matter more than the digit itself."

# Should SaaS pricing end in 9?

> Charm pricing (prices ending in 9 like $19, $49, $99) typically converts 1 to 3% better than round pricing for B2C SaaS. For B2B SaaS, the effect is negligible and round pricing ($20, $100, $500) often signals professionalism better. The category and buyer type matter more than the digit itself.

## Supporting points

- B2C consumer SaaS: $19, $49, $99 generally outperforms $20, $50, $100 by 1-3% on conversion.
- B2B mid-market SaaS: round pricing or pricing-on-request often outperforms charm pricing because procurement teams treat charm pricing as 'consumer-grade'.
- Most impactful pricing decision is not the last digit – it's the price-tier structure and the Stack Slide framing.
