BetterCloud: 60% of SaaS Vendors Bill by Usage in 2026
By 2026, most SaaS companies will charge customers based on how much they use the software, not just a flat subscription. AI is quickly changing how software works and how companies make money, with many apps adding smart agents that handle tasks automatically. This shift means companies need to watch costs closely and protect their data, as AI tools become more common and powerful. Usage-based pricing, hybrid plans, and outcome-based fees are the new trends, while companies with valuable data will have a strong advantage.
