SaaS Pricing Models Are Broken for the Global South
A $99/month tool is affordable in San Francisco. It is a month's salary in Accra. We need fundamentally different pricing architectures.
The software industry has a globalisation problem. Most SaaS products are priced for Western markets and simply unavailable to the billions of people who could benefit from them. Purchasing power parity pricing, community licences, and freemium models designed for emerging markets could unlock an entirely new wave of global productivity.
