fanbotifyDynamic pricing for PPV means setting the price of each pay-per-view offer for the fan receiving it, based on signals such as how engaged he is and what he has bought before, rather than charging every fan the same fixed price. Good dynamic pricing always stays inside bounds the creator chooses.
How dynamic pricing works on Fanvue
On Fanvue, each paid message carries its own price, which makes per-fan pricing possible. In practice it works like this:
- Base price: the creator sets a normal price for each tier or bundle.
- Bounds: she sets the lowest and highest the price may go, relative to that base.
- Signals: engagement in the conversation, past purchases and spend.
- Offer: each PPV gets a price inside the bounds that fits that fan at that moment.
A human chatter does this by feel. A tool can do it consistently for every fan and every offer.
Why dynamic pricing matters for creators and agencies
Fans are different. A new follower testing the waters may hesitate at a price a regular buyer would accept without a second thought. A single fixed price is either too high for the first or too low for the second. Pricing per fan lets a creator welcome new buyers and still be paid fairly by her most engaged fans, including her whales. For agencies, it turns pricing from guesswork into a rule the whole team, or the AI, follows.
Common mistakes
- No ceiling: without an upper bound, prices can drift to amounts that feel exploitative and damage trust.
- Discounting by reflex: dropping the price every time a fan hesitates teaches him to wait.
- Pricing on one signal: a single big tip does not make a fan a regular buyer.
- Inconsistent tiers: a lower tier should not end up costing more than a higher one.
- Pressure: dynamic pricing is about fit, never about pushing fans who are struggling. Never sell to a fan in distress.
An example with numbers
Say a creator sets a base price of $20 for a tier, with a lowest multiplier of x0.9 and a highest of x1.5. Every offer for that tier then lands between $18 and $30. A new fan who has only chatted a little and never bought might be offered the set near the bottom of that range, to make the first purchase easy. A fan who has bought several sets and is clearly enjoying the conversation might be offered it nearer the top. Neither price is ever below $18 or above $30, because those are the creator's rules. If she wants prices closer to her base for everyone, she narrows the range.
Fixed or dynamic: a quick comparison
| Fixed price | Dynamic price | |
|---|---|---|
| Set by | The creator, once | The creator's range, applied per fan |
| New fans | May find it too high | Offered nearer the low end |
| Engaged buyers | Pay the same as everyone | Offered nearer the high end |
| Effort | None | Needs a rule or a tool to apply it consistently |
Dynamic pricing for PPV also works alongside tiers: each tier keeps its own base price, and the range applies to that base. Spacing tier prices sensibly, and keeping the range moderate, keeps the ladder from softer to more exclusive content easy for fans to follow.
How FanBotify handles it
FanBotify prices each offer for the fan, inside bounds you set: the lowest from x0.8 to x1.0 of the base price, the highest from x1.2 to x2.0, following how engaged the fan is. You set the base price per tier, and "Sort with AI" can suggest prices from your Vault. The AI never goes outside your range, never sells to fans in distress, and a single payment above an amount you set is handed to you.
