Having know of any good pricing tools out there?

I’ve been building one for years, and will be able to white label several products under different brands.

Anyhow, I know of ERI, ProPricer/GovWin, McNulty, Hinz Consulting, Red hat, Richter, among a few others in the GovCon space.

I’ve been learning more about Implan, Lightcast, and Labor Titan as well with much higher price points and geared toward economic development.

Anyone use any of these tools?

What do you like/dis of the features. Any you wish you could be seeing that would scale your pricing output or increase confidence in your bids?

Trying to flesh out use cases and GTM strategies for price analysis, calculation of reasonable salary ranges and wrap rates, and an initial commercial price list for GSA with progress toward cost narrative and price analysis automation with potential to help public buyers to crate IGEs.

Would love to share it with anyone interested and appreciate your thoughts and comments on must-have (avoid) tools like mine or (GovWin)

Hope everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful week ahead 👊🏼

Cheers,
GovCon Jon ✌🏼

Is this a new pricing tactic?

I noticed that my local hardware store now recently uses a "1 for" instead of a "2 for" pricing tactic that most places use. Why would a company want someone to buy 1 instead of 2 items and why would they advertise the more expensive price?

Are people actually comfortable with AI handling pricing?

I’ve been thinking about this idea of “agentic pricing” lately and genuinely can’t tell if it’s the natural next step or if people are going to find it weird.

I mean pricing already changes everywhere. Flights, hotels, Amazon, Uber, etc.

But now with AI, it feels like pricing could become way more autonomous. Like systems constantly adjusting based on demand, competition, timing, inventory, customer patterns, and probably a hundred other signals without someone manually changing rules all day.

And honestly… it kind of makes sense?

But I’m curious how people actually feel about it.

Would customers care if prices were being adjusted by AI in real time as long as the pricing still felt fair?

And what happens once buyers also have AI agents helping them shop, negotiate, or find the best deal?

Feels like we’re heading toward AI interacting with AI and humans just setting the goals lol

Curious if people think this becomes normal or if there’s something fundamentally uncomfortable about it.
