Fixed Pricing vs Negotiated Pricing — this is a dilemma faced by many service-oriented projects.
We all know that users have a little thought in mind: can I get a discount? Negotiated pricing indeed gives this illusion, as if every transaction has room for bargaining. But this thing is actually a big pitfall in the business model.
Why? Because once you open the bargaining mode, your service value becomes blurred. Customers start to wonder what your true bottom line is, rather than trusting the price you claim. This undermines pricing transparency and brand professionalism.
What about truly competitive service providers? They tend to stick to fixed pricing. Especially in innovative fields like Web3, a fixed and transparent pricing system can better build trust. It tells customers: my service is worth this price, and behind this price is my professional commitment.
Fixed pricing is not just a number; it’s a confirmation of your ability and value. When you dare to set prices this way, you can actually attract customers who are willing to pay for high-quality services.

Those words are harsh, but I've indeed seen too many projects become very cheap because of bargaining, only to be cut down to no profit.

Hey, to be honest, fixed pricing definitely looks more professional. Negotiation just makes you weaken your own stance.

Exactly, those customers who are always trying to haggle are basically not good clients.

Ha, that's right. Once you start bargaining, it's over, and trust drops straight down.
