How should I price my currency?

I’m currently at the point in the development of my game where I need to price the currency in terms of how much each tier costs in robux and how many coins you receive.

There are two types of Items in my game that you can purchase: Hat Capsules and Skills (different sets for each Team). I’ve managed to price these, though I’m clueless when it comes to pricing the currency.

Important Info

You receive 50 Coins for winning a 3 minute round and 20 if you lose.

ITEM PRICES
Capsules

  • Common - 100 Coins
  • Rare - 250 Coins
  • Epic - 500 Coins
  • Legendary - 750 Coins

Hider Skills

  • Skill 1 - 150 Coins
  • Skill 2 - 450 Coins
  • Skill 3 - 750 Coins
  • Skill 4 - 1050 Coins
  • Skill 5 - 1350 Coins
  • Skill 6 - 1650 Coins
  • Skill 7 - 1950 Coins

Seeker Skills

  • Skill 1 - 150 Coins
  • Skill 2 - 450 Coins
  • Skill 3 - 750 Coins
  • Skill 4 - 1050 Coins
  • Skill 5 - 1350 Coins
  • Skill 6 - 1650 Coins

There are 6 different tiers of currency you can buy. What do you think each tier should cost in robux and how many coins should be received?

Yes, sorry. I’ve made that clear in my original post now.

First Tier 50 robux = 150 coins.
Second Tier 100 robux = 300 coins.
Third Tier 250 robux = 450 or even 500 coins.
Fourth Tier 300 robux = 600 or 750 coins.
Fifth Tier 400 - 500 robux = 1,000 coins.
Sixth tier 500 - 800 robux = 1,500 coins.
That’s my opinion in the costs.
Hopefully this has helped you.

Looking at the important info, I think 1 coin is pretty valuable, considering you don’t need many coins to get a Legendary Capsule. So I would say 10 coins = 1 Robux.

I have to agree with @vAshinaa here. that seems like the most appropriate pricing

That’s a worse deal than spending 50 Robux 5 times (150 * 5 = 750 coins). You should want to incentivize paying more by making it become a better and better deal as they pay more.

Here’s my thoughts on pricing. It essentially tags 1R$ to 2.6 coins and gives a 10 coin bonus for every extra 50R$ spent. This might seem like much but at the end it is 1R$ to 2.8 coins so it incentives more expensive purchasing whilst still being a good deal for you.

Tier Robux Coins
1 50 130
2 100 270
3 250 690
4 300 830
5 400 1120
6 800 2230
