6 Steps to Launching Usage-Based Pricing for SaaS and AI

AI and cloud economics are breaking traditional software pricing models.

Revenera’s 2026 Monetization Monitor shows 70% of producers offering AI-driven capabilities are seeing delivery costs erode profitability. At the same time, Flexera’s IT Priorities report highlights growing pressure on enterprise IT budgets, with overspending on AI the top concern.

Customers want fair, transparent pricing. Suppliers need to protect margins. Something has to change.
Why Hybrid Pricing Is Winning

Subscriptions remain essential, but they’re no longer enough.

Pure subscription models are losing ground, while hybrid pricing – combining subscriptions for core functionality with usage-based pricing for high-cost features – is gaining momentum. For AI-driven software, where compute costs fluctuate dramatically, usage-based pricing is becoming critical.

The challenge isn’t the strategy. It’s execution.

In this webinar, Nicole Segerer, General Manager at Revenera, will share this practical 6-step framework for launching usage-based pricing in SaaS, AI, and even on-premises products:

1. Define your value metric – Choose usage measures that reflect real customer value
2. Segment your customers – Build tiers based on usage patterns, not seat counts
3. Build flexible infrastructure – Accurately track, meter, and bill usage
4. Model financial impact – Forecast revenue and margin scenarios
5. Communicate transparently – Make pricing easy to understand and trust
6. Iterate and optimize – Continuously refine pricing using real usage data

This session is designed for pricing, product, finance, and monetization leaders responsible for revenue growth. Attendees will leave with a clear, actionable framework and real-world insights to modernize pricing strategies and drive profitability.
