I had recently started on a new micro-saas Shopify App, it basically lets store owners add Custom JS, CSS or copy paste script to any theme. I had kept it free and it had grown nicely on AppStore - https://sasi.unionworks.co.uk/app/custom-css-plus.
Now to monetize it, I am adding a functionality like fiverr where store owners can create theme edit tasks which will be done by my team (initially just me ). I wanted to get feedback on pricing model.
Here are few I have in mind,
Pricing Technique 1:
(Based on skill level of the freelancer you are hiring)
Beginner: $10/hour
Intermediate: $20/hour
Expert: $40/hour
No guaranteed monthly revenue, but easier to understand.

Pricing Technique 2:
Montly Basic Pack: $29/mo, covers 5 hours of work, $10/hour after that
Montly Pro Pack: $99/mo, covers 20 hours of work, $10/hour after that
Montly Expert Pack: $179/mo, covers 40 hours of work, $10/hour after that
Guaranteed recurring revenue, but less per hour

Pricing Technique 3:
Pay as you go: $15/hour
Montly Basic Pack: $29/mo, covers 5 hours of work, $10/hour after that
Montly Pro Pack: $99/mo, covers 20 hours of work, $10/hour after that
Montly Expert Pack: $179/mo, covers 40 hours of work, $10/hour after that
Best of both but a bit complicated to understand.
