Willingness to pay isn't a number, it's a story about anchors, alternatives, and the moment a buyer decides "that's too much". Diaform runs AI-led pricing conversations that probe the why behind every price point, so you ship pricing pages with conviction instead of guesswork.

You learn the "too cheap", "bargain", "expensive", and "too expensive" prices, but nothing about why a buyer reacted that way, what they compared you to, or what would change their mind. The chart looks rigorous and tells you almost nothing actionable.
Most teams pick a number based on a competitor screenshot, a gut call, and a Slack thread. The first real pricing data arrives weeks later, as low conversion, awkward sales calls, and a stalled funnel.
Stated WTP is famously inflated. Without probing the reaction, surprise, hesitation, comparison, you can't tell which numbers will hold up when a real card has to come out.
Run Van Westendorp's four-question battery, Gabor-Granger laddering, or direct WTP, the AI agent handles the sequencing and keeps every conversation consistent across respondents.
Every number comes with a follow-up. Why does $49 feel expensive? What were you comparing it to? At what price would you have stopped considering us? You get the reasoning, not just the digit.
Diaform's automation can detect a "pricing too expensive" trigger mid-conversation and immediately probe deeper, what alternative they'd choose, the price that would change their mind, the feature they'd cut to justify it.
Voice answers on price reveal emotion that text flattens. Hesitation, surprise, a quick laugh, the AI captures it, and you hear which numbers actually landed and which felt absurd.
Show different price anchors, packages, or tier structures to different cohorts. Compare reactions side by side and find the framing that converts, not just the number.
Run pricing studies in 30+ languages. Test geographic price localization with local buyers in their native language and get summaries back in English for your team.
Pick your method, Van Westendorp, Gabor-Granger, or a custom anchor + reaction flow. Set the price points, packages, or tiers you want to test and what trigger reactions matter.
Add a knowledge base on your product, packaging, and competitive landscape so the AI can probe intelligently when respondents reference alternatives or compare features.
Send to your prospect list, current customers, churned users, or a recruited panel. Each respondent runs their own AI-led price conversation in their browser, voice or text.
Get sentiment broken down by price point, reaction tags (shock, hesitation, acceptance), the exact quotes that justify each reaction, and a synthesized recommendation across the cohort.
About to launch and unsure where to set the price? Run WTP conversations with your target buyer before the page goes live, not after the conversion data is in.
Moving from three tiers to two? Splitting a feature out? Test the new structure with current customers and prospects to find the breaks before you ship them.
Planning a 20% increase? Probe customers on the threshold where they'd seriously reconsider, what they'd accept in exchange, and which segments will churn vs. shrug.
Test region-specific pricing in the local language. Find out what a buyer in São Paulo or Berlin will pay vs. a buyer in San Francisco, and why.
Which features should sit in Pro vs. Business? What's the must-have that justifies the upgrade? Probe buyers on perceived value per feature, not just price.
For churned customers, find the discount or plan change that would actually bring them back, and the ones who would never come back at any price.
