I was given this case and struggled quite a bit with it. I was wondering how you would approach a pricing question such as this one. Other similar ones might be:

Why is Amazon prime / Netflix / YouTube Red priced the way it is?

Ex-MBB, Experienced Hire; I will teach you not only the how, but also the why of case interviews

Seems like a standard pricing question. Answers could focus on:

- Value to the consumer (most likely the right / relevant answer since it will allow for price differentiation between various categories of consumers)

- Cost+ model, how much it cost to develop + some margin

- BATNA

...

PS: Other considerations include psychological impact of various price points, as well as one-off upfront fee vs. a monthly charge vs. "free installation, pay for the upgrade" -> cf. gaming industry.

Hope this helps

I also charge my google maps but some errors in which. So https://downloadtimecalculator.org/ is very helpful to charge google maps. They have more unbelievable features.
