The Challenge

In competitive markets, customers often struggle to choose between options, leading to decision paralysis or random selection. Traditional pricing strategies focus on direct competition, missing the opportunity to strategically guide customer preferences.

The Solution

The Decoy Effect Designer uses proven behavioral economics principles to create strategically positioned decoy products that make your target offering more attractive without direct price competition.

Key Benefits

Supported Effect Types

Attraction Effect (Asymmetric Dominance)

Create a decoy that is clearly inferior to your target on all dimensions, making the target the obvious choice. Most effective when target and competitor are similar in value proposition.

Compromise Effect

Position a decoy to make your target the "middle option" between extremes. Appeals to risk-averse customers who avoid extreme choices.

Use Cases

SaaS Pricing Tiers

Design subscription plans where the middle tier becomes the obvious best value, increasing average revenue per user.
