PricePilot Digital
An AI pricing strategist for indie authors and course creators that recommends launch price, optimal discount timing, and commitment devices so your digital product doesn't race to free.
indie authors, online course creators, and digital product sellers pricing their first or next launch
- Comparable-title analyzer that benchmarks your price against similar digital products in your niche
- Commitment device recommender (no-discount guarantees, time-boxed launch windows, evergreen floors)
- Discount timing advisor that suggests when price drops actually grow revenue rather than erode it
- Back-of-the-envelope revenue simulator comparing launch strategies side by side
New empirical work rejects the long-held theory that digital goods must race to zero, meaning indie creators can stop undercutting themselves if they commit.
