There is an inversion building in small market Saas pricing. Due to Saas consumers being burned by disappearing or deprecated services, a low or rock-bottom price is a red flag. This is especially true for a Saas services that are business oriented.
If you can deliver a true clone, why not double, triple, or 10x the price? Most Micro or Small Saas are under-priced anyway. You will not be able to snipe a competitor's customers, unless their service is not working, just by having a lower price.
However, if you can clone the service and attract your own customers you should charge more. Revenue will allow you to build out a more valuable/reliable product.
A potential customer will assume the service is more valuable and reliable than the product you cloned simply because it's higher cost.
