Beyond Seats: A 30-Minute Lightning Talk with Mainsail's Brian Russell and BillingPlatform's Chris Bishop on AI and SaaS Pricing
AI is killing the logic of seat-based pricing.
Creating a commercial vortex.
The question is no longer:
“Should we move away from seat-based pricing?”
It’s:
What do we need to understand about our product, value engine and cost base to make the move away work?
