🤖 Is your AI hurting your pricing model?

by•

Added AI features to make users more efficient? That's great... until you realize they need fewer seats but get 10x more value.

The problem:

5 AI-powered users = $500/month

20 basic users = $2,000/month

Guess who's getting more value? 🤔

Your AI works so well that customers are downsizing teams but upsizing results. Per-seat pricing punishes you for building great AI.

Quick question: Has anyone adapted their pricing model to this new normal? 💭

Can’t speak to transition from per-seat, but we worked through these scenarios and decided that we would start out with usage-based since that also better aligns with cost models. We internally price for ‘jobs’ done by agents, and reflect that back to users. Eg, feedback from 5 synthetic users is 25 credits.  Thesis is that if users find this valuable and they do more of it the pricing model scales accordingly .

@ragsontherocks Oh, that's awesome. I think there's a huge benefit for companies just starting right now - there's no billing infrastructure that will break or slow you down. Let me know if you see any changes to your hypothesis!!!
