Respond When Told a Competitor Is Cheaper

Build a response to 'they're cheaper' that reframes price as a proxy for value and clarifies what you're comparing.

About this prompt

This prompt writes a response to 'competitor X is cheaper' that reframes the price comparison around value delivered, total cost of ownership, and what the difference in price actually reflects — rather than defending your price or matching it. Use it when a competitor's lower price is being used as leverage in a negotiation.'They're cheaper' is the most common price objection in competitive deals, and most sellers respond by either defending their price (which sounds like a non-answer) or discounting (which signals the original price was inflated). This prompt takes your [price], the [competitor's price if known], your [key differentiators], and a [specific value proof point] and generates a response that reframes the comparison around what the difference in price actually reflects — implementation quality, support depth, customer outcomes, or total cost of ownership. It includes questions that surface where the cheaper option's real costs appear after purchase. Use this over a generic price objection response when you have specific evidence of where value differences manifest. Tip: the total cost of ownership questions are the most powerful output here — 'what does it cost you when implementation takes 6 months instead of 6 weeks?' makes the price difference feel less significant than it did when it was just a line item comparison.
