Small-Business Pricing Analysis
Find out whether your prices reflect the actual labor, overhead, capacity, and margin your business needs. Didymus Analytics uses the numbers you already have to make pricing decisions more grounded and less dependent on competitor prices or gut feel.
Pricing analysis for owner-led businesses
Build the price from your economics—not just from what competitors charge.
A useful pricing analysis starts with the actual work required to deliver what you sell. Labor, overhead, capacity, and target margin provide a clearer basis for deciding whether a price works and where it may need attention.
Account for limited time
For service businesses, compare what each booked hour or unit of capacity produces—not only the sticker price.
Test the current price
See what the existing price leaves after relevant costs and compare that result with the margin the business needs.
Illustrative example
The higher-priced service is not automatically the better use of capacity.
This example is illustrative, not client data. It shows why price, time, and delivery cost should be considered together.

Standard service$96K$44K · 46%

What the owner learns
A different decision appears when cost is attached to revenue.
Custom projects bring in the most revenue but much less profit than the maintenance plans. Rush work is losing money. That can change pricing, sales emphasis, staffing, or which work the business accepts.
What you receive
Start with one pricing decision.
The scope depends on the question and the data available. The goal is a focused analysis you can understand and use—not a complicated pricing system.

Pricing questions Didymus can help investigate.
Am I charging enough?
Compare the current price with the labor, overhead, capacity, and target margin associated with delivering the work.
Which services make the best use of limited staff time?
For appointment and service businesses, economics per booked hour can reveal differences that price per appointment alone does not show.
Are custom projects or rush jobs underpriced?
Actual labor, rework, materials, subcontractors, and other delivery costs can be compared with the price to see whether special work is producing the intended margin.
Do I need special pricing software?
No. The first step can often use the information already in invoices, bookkeeping records, calendars, job records, POS exports, or spreadsheets.
