(AWP Alliance News) - Software businesses are increasingly shifting from per-seat pricing to usage-based billing as AI changes their cost structures, according to an Adyen analysis published Oct. 22, 2026. AI computing costs vary widely by customer, making fixed per-user fees less effective at covering delivery costs. Consumption-based pricing aligns revenue with those costs, helping protect margins as customers adopt AI features.
Many companies favor hybrid models that combine subscriptions with usage charges to preserve predictable recurring revenue.
