I think you're on to something here, which is that bytes stored isn't a great price discriminator for this class of software. The SaaS business model for Sentry or Notion succeeds because bigger teams store more content and have a higher willingness to pay.
For mapping applications, the county government GIS analyst might work daily with a 10GB aerial raster or parcel footprint dataset and be willing to pay $100 for a slicker solution, while a boutique real estate sales office stores a couple hundred dots (kilobytes of data) and is willing to pay $XXXX for the same solution!
