An engineer’s step-by-step guide to plan versioning

SaaS companies frequently alter their pricing models, necessitating an effective plan versioning system to manage these changes smoothly and avoid complications such as code clutter, SKU sprawl, and customer dissatisfaction. Plan versioning is essential for accommodating grandfathering, segmentation, and pricing experiments, allowing businesses to control who is affected by pricing changes and when. It helps in maintaining legacy customers on original plans while introducing new pricing structures to new customers, supporting segmented rollouts for various customer groups, and facilitating pricing experiments to determine optimal pricing strategies. By implementing versioning, companies can prevent a messy codebase and complex migrations, ensuring seamless transitions for customers. The process involves setting up version numbers, statuses, and flags for plans, enabling businesses to manage changes without major disruptions. For businesses lacking the resources to develop such systems internally, solutions like Stigg offer an out-of-the-box platform to handle pricing and packaging with minimal engineering effort, allowing companies to focus on monetization without the burden of extensive coding.
