Do we know how to price SaaS: a multi-vocal literature review
Cloud computing and the service-oriented business model are transforming the way software is developed, delivered, and used. Servicization of digital products creates new challenges for software companies to be able to reap the benefits of this change. Pricing is recognized as an essential component of software product management that affects the overall performance of the product and the company. Existing academic research on SaaS pricing is fragmented and separated from a wide range of practitioner literature. As a result, a comprehensive body of knowledge on SaaS pricing is missing. Our paper reports the results of a multi-vocal literature review on 76 identified pieces of ``white'' academic literature and 149 items that belong to ``grey'' literature. The goal of our study is to answer the question on whether we know how to price SaaS by summarizing the existing knowledge from different research areas and practice on SaaS pricing, and identify the areas which require further investigation.
