Per-seat
Familiar to enterprise. Misaligned with usage-driven cost.
Usage-based
Tracks cost; can spook buyers worried about runaway bills.
Hybrid (seat + usage)
Best of both. Most enterprise AI ends here.
Outcome-based
Charge per resolved ticket, generated lead. Hard to measure but compelling.
FAQ
Why is outcome-based pricing more popular for AI than other categories?
Because AI's value is more measurable. Closed support tickets, generated leads, accepted code suggestions — all quantifiable units of value. Outcome pricing aligns vendor and customer; both sides win when AI works. Expect more AI categories to shift this way over 2026–2028.
