The article examines how AI’s high variable costs are reshaping recurring‑revenue models, moving firms away from flat‑rate SaaS subscriptions toward hybrid, usage‑based, and outcome‑based pricing. It cites McKinsey data showing 50% of firms plan AI adoption and highlights that 72% already use AI in at least one function, creating demand for predictable, consumption‑linked revenue streams. The piece outlines operational challenges—accurate metering, real‑time dashboards, and complex invoicing—and argues that modern revenue‑management platforms are essential. Ultimately, aligning pricing with actual AI usage is portrayed as critical for profitability.
