The subscription economy has seen a shift towards consumption-based pricing as companies aim for fairer and more transparent pricing models. Seat-based pricing often fails to reflect the true value customers derive from software, leading to potential dissatisfaction. Modern pricing platforms like Togai enable SaaS companies to adopt flexible, usage-based pricing with minimal hassle. Adopting modern pricing strategies can help navigate the looming recession and hiring freeze by aligning pricing more closely with customer usage patterns, increasing loyalty and reducing churn.
