Short answer
Value-based pricing is a strategy of setting prices according to the value customers perceive rather than production cost or competitor prices. It relies on understanding what outcomes buyers care about and how much those outcomes are worth to them. When executed well, it can capture higher margins than cost-plus or competition-based pricing.
