You have cost and a profit margin. Talking about doing business is just that. “Let’s talk business” is a great sentence and tells the other party there’s going to be a quid pro quo.

And don’t undervalue yourself, find out the equivalent prices in your area or what figure out what brings a profit and set that bar.

A 50% efficiency increase could add value to your customer, why not make it an premium product/subscription/version? So keep your old clients on the base version for instance, or offer them the premium.

Don’t think of it as locking them in, think of it as value you are already providing. Business models change all the time, rebrand and re-engage if you can.
