Whether you are making clone of a popular SaaS or building a brand new product, just looking at pricing alone won't help you go anywhere. To make it a success, you need to make 1) Interesting to sell - product, features, usability, experience, and availablity are the enablers for making it interesting. 2) Interested to buy- you'll need to generate leads, engage with customers, build trust, and develop relationship to find the customer to buy/try-out your product. 3) Interested to Pay: your strategy and actions for converting the customer to a paying one.

And this involves a whole lot of thing. Not just pricing, positioning, cloning or copying.
