Lucas and Luna break down the decoy effect in pricing, using a real-world example from The Economist's 2009 subscription experiment. They explain how a deliberately unattractive middle option — the decoy — nudges customers toward the most profitable choice, and why every SaaS company from Apple to Netflix uses this tactic. Luna shares a contrarian take on when not to use a decoy, and they discuss the ethical boundary between persuasion and manipulation. A concrete, actionable episode for anyone setting prices.

In the premiere episode of The Pricing Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna use a single concrete example—the 1626 sale of Manhattan for 24 dollars' worth of trinkets—to unpack the psychological machinery of price anchoring, bundling, and conversion pricing. They trace how a modern SaaS company, Notion, bundles features into tiers that anchor users to a high-value 'free' tier, then nudges them toward the Team plan. Lucas explains why the $10/month difference between the Plus and Business tiers is not random but calibrated to make Plus feel like a steal. Luna brings in data from a Stanford study showing that anchoring works even when the anchor is absurdly high. The episode closes by previewing the show's signature: not abstract pricing theory, but the actual price tags, bundle menus, and tier tables you encounter every day.
