AI agents unbundle SaaS, shifting pricing from per-seat to usage-based models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This shift is likely to move pricing away from per-seat models towards usage- or outcome-based structures, as per-seat pricing incentivizes vendors to underperform. AI

IMPACT AI agents are expected to disrupt the SaaS market by unbundling business logic and shifting pricing models away from per-seat licenses.
