Yes, AI is making traditional per seat SaaS pricing obsolete but it won’t eradicate it completely. Artificial intelligence shifts software from a passive tool used by humans to an active agent doing work independently. This fundamentally breaks the logic of charging “per human keyboard.”

Traditional SaaS sometimes charges enterprises per user or per month, while AI can carry out tasks on its own without the assistance of a human user for all actions. Therefore, it could lead to new pricing models focused on usage, accomplished tasks and business results.

Ai could also allow a platform to substitute some SaaS tools, decreasing subscription costs and SaaS “stack” complexity.

Although AI requires a lot of framework, evolution and maintenance, so enterprises will surely have to pay for these resources.
