Help Wanted Pricing software as a service

So I had my first sale pitch, made the mistake of not lying to the customer. They asked If i could integrate my website with the bank account of the company. I told them that it was going to be expensive. I should have just said "No problem" and then stick them with the bill.
Overall it went well.

I went down to $100 a month. I did had to change some Azure options to bring down the hosting costs.

So I'm developing a SAS that is basically a document manager/searcher/indexer, where my users can login and see the documents of the company.

I'm developing it on an Azure platform, and taking advantage of the PDF indexing, Blob storage, SQL, etc.

I have computed the basic storage amounts to be around $150-$200, and this includes virtually all the usage they need.

So how much should I price this on a monthly basis? Is anyone familiar with this type of software and its prices? Should I charge per user instead?

I am expecting several companies to sign up to this, so each site will be the same with very little modifications, so code wise there is nothing too different to do once deployed.


Or as a businessman, how can you price this, do you price it at $500.00 flat profit a month on top of the storage fees? is 1k month way too much for a document storage websites?
