2. For each competitor, assess their pricing models, including tiered pricing, subscription options, and one-time fees.
3. Identify any discounts or promotions they offer, especially during the specified time period, and analyze their likely effectiveness.
4. Analyze pricing trends over the given timeframe, noting any changes or patterns.
5. Compare the user's pricing with competitors and highlight opportunities for adjustment.
