Finding the right pricing model highly depends on the individual SaaS offering. You can start by determining how much it costs for you to serve one tenant to get a lower bound for your pricing strategy. But don’t just forward the price to your customer. Instead, think of the value you provide to your customer and what this is worth to them. Does your offering make your customers more productive? Will they get updates more frequently and need fewer people to operate the software? You can include these factors in the pricing. 

A SaaS solution allows for different pricing models. Depending on the solution, a monthly subscription fee or a consumption based pricing model which can depend on the number of users of storage used could be suitable.
 

There are many tools to help you dive deep into the costs associated with your workload, such as Cost Explorer.
