Two major forces are changing SaaS monetization: 💨 Economic headwinds: Software companies monetizing on seats are facing a tough macro environment, leading to a significant slowdown in headcount growth. 🤖 GenAI revolution: We're witnessing unprecedented innovation in GenAI, fundamentally changing how we deliver value to customers. The result? A perfect storm driving rapid experimentation with AI monetization strategies. As a revenue leader, you're probably asking: How are other teams adapting their pricing models to these new AI-powered products? We partnered with the PricingSaaS team to survey the industry and uncover the latest AI pricing cheat sheet. The three main strategies they found: ➕ Add-on: This strategy involves selling AI capabilities as an additional feature pack for an extra fee on top of your core product offering. 🚀 New AI Product: With this approach, you launch a brand-new, standalone AI product that can be cross-sold to your existing customer base. 📦 Existing Tiers: This strategy leverages your current product tiers to introduce and monetize AI features within them. Check out the cheat sheet in the comments. #AIMonetization #SaasPricing #GenAI

The next wave of AI-driven innovation demands a new approach to pricing. As more SaaS companies look to integrate AI into their products, they’re faced with challenges that prove traditional models like seat-based pricing unsustainable, due to factors such as unpredictable usage and pricing volatility. But your pricing model should help, not hurt your growth - in fact, it can be a massive lever. Switching to a dynamic, more flexible model is key to future-proofing your pricing engine.

Another episode of #Build vs #Buy podcast just dropped! This week I speak with Kshitij Grover, CTO at Orb. We discuss how billing is a critical part of every business but almost never adds customer value and most certainly doesn't delight customers. So why do some #SaaS companies have entire product teams dedicated to building out billing? Some challenges with self-rolling billing infrastructure include: 1. 🛠 It's a lot of work to build and maintain 2. 💸 Lack of flexibility for price testing 3. 🙅♂️ Nobody wants to work on it 4. 🍺 Doesn't "make your beer taste better" - Jeff Bezos Linky links below: youtube: https://lnkd.in/g2XfqiXf spotify: https://lnkd.in/gSrAg54D apple: https://lnkd.in/gn8n3KpW P.S. Kshitij is probably one of the most articulate individuals I have ever spoken with. I really enjoyed the conversation. P.P.S Special shout out to Schaeffer Arnold for editing out the part where my wife pokes her head into the frame and my daughter starts screaming. 😂
