From the desk —evidence-backed pricing, no fake certainty
Knowwhen to raise, hold, or test pricing
A dispatch for SaaS founders who want to move pricing from gut-feel to evidence — without pretending the numbers always support a verdict.
“We spent years inside SaaS finance teams watching founders guess their way through pricing. RevTune packages the cohort math, churn-adjusted LTV, and willingness-to-pay signals we relied on into a Monday- morning readout from your billing data — labeled by what the evidence actually supports.”

Under the hood
Decisions, backed by real math
Every page leads with the decision. The rigor sits underneath as evidence — no black-box scoring, and every number ships with a diagnostic you can audit if you want to.
MRR forecasting you can audit
Seasonal time-series forecast with a published walk-forward backtest. You see the model's real out-of-sample error, not just a smooth line on a chart.
Second-opinion forecast
A driver-based model on customers × ARPU runs alongside the primary forecast. When the two disagree, we flag it instead of hiding the divergence behind a single point.
Cohort bottom-up view
Built the way founders already think: by acquisition cohort and retention. A sanity check on the top-down forecast when historical MRR was noisy.
Save-queue ranking for churn
Survival-analysis ranking tells you who to call this week, not just an overall churn number. Each at-risk customer comes with an archetype and a next action.
Pricing hypotheses, validated by A/B
We fit a demand curve across your plans to generate directional pricing hypotheses — then push you to a structured A/B test before the change ships, never a permanent change from a correlational fit.
Plain-English by default
Every page leads with the decision: base case, confidence, next step. The model names and diagnostics live behind a disclosure if you ever want them.
