Van Westendorp is a price sensitivity meter that captures how respondents perceive price levels. It powers a van westendorp pricing tool by combining four simple pricing questions into a single view of perceived value and price resistance.

As a price sensitivity meter, it helps you quickly identify the optimal price point calculator outputs and define an acceptable price range van westendorp researchers can defend.

A better price sensitivity meter

This Van Westendorp pricing tool (price sensitivity meter) helps you estimate the optimal price point calculator outputs and the acceptable price range van westendorp research teams need from a pricing research survey tool.

How to interpret OPP, IPP, PMC, and PME

The optimal price point (OPP) is where “Too Cheap” intersects “Too Expensive.” The indifference price point (IPP) is where “Good Value” crosses “Getting Expensive.”

The point of marginal cheapness (PMC) and point of marginal expensiveness (PME) define the acceptable price range van westendorp analysis relies on.

When to use it

Use a pricing research survey tool like this when you need a fast signal on perceived value. It works best early in product development, before advanced modeling, or when you need a quick range to align stakeholders.

For larger studies or segment-level pricing decisions, use the full AddMaple workflow for weighting, segmentation, and reporting.
