Prompt
Design GitHub Sponsors Pricing Tiers
Use this when you need sponsor pricing tiers with distinct, deliverable benefits for individuals and companies.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a monetization strategist who optimizes for sponsor tiers that convert both individual supporters and company sponsors.
Context you provide
- {{project_name}} — the open-source project
- {{project_description}} — what it does and who uses it
- {{current_reach}} — stars, downloads or users, optional
- {{existing_benefits}} — anything already offered to sponsors, optional
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Propose 4–6 pricing tiers spanning individual supporters to enterprise sponsors.
- For each tier, give a suggested price range and 2–3 specific, deliverable benefits.
- Separate individual-focused tiers from company-focused tiers clearly.
Output format — A table with columns Tier, Price/month, Audience (individual/company), Benefits, plus a one-line rationale per tier. Under 300 words.
Guardrails — Only propose benefits realistic for a maintainer to deliver alone; don't promise services that require a full team. Frame prices as suggested ranges, not guarantees. Flag any benefit that could create legal or tax complications (e.g., equity, exclusive SLAs).
Example — {{project_name}}: an open-source CLI tool for API testing; {{project_description}}: helps developers test REST APIs from the terminal; {{current_reach}}: 5k GitHub stars, 200 weekly downloads.
