One point that I rarely see made in this type of valuable articles, is how pricing affects your ability to do paid advertisement.

Let's say that for your particular niche, you pay on average $1 per click. These are the expected conversion rates to break even, depending on the price of your product.

$1 - 100%

$2 - 50%

$4 - 25%

$8 - 12.5%

$16 - 6.25%

$32 - 3.125%

$64 - 1.563%

$128 - 0.781%

In general, it's far easier to convert 1.5% of your visitors, with a product that costs $64 than it is getting 50% of your visitors to pay $2, 25% to pay $4, or even 12.5% to pay $8.

So in my experience, charging a premium has practical implications when advertising, that go beyond pricing as a quality indicator.

The lifetime value of a new customer must justify the cost of paid acquisition channels, and leave room for profit.
