Couldn't agree more with this observation! The shift towards pay-per-task in the SaaS realm is indeed a fascinating development. At Arcturus Consulting Group, LLC, we've been committed to a value-based pricing model for all of our consulting services. Why? Because our clients aren't just buying hours or subscribing to a monthly service—they're investing in tangible outcomes and results. For us, it's all about the impact we create. It's not about counting hours or getting more monthly subscribers; it's about delivering measurable results that truly move the needle.

SaaS as we know it is dying and no-one is talking about it... 1 hour ago, Zapier ($5B company) started charging "pay-per-task" instead of only monthly subscriptions When you can align customer incentives with your business model, it's a beautiful thing Bullish. SaaS companies were able to get away with charging monthly for far too long. Welcome to the pay-per-task software era. Not surprised it's the community-led companies that are moving to this model the quickest: 1. Understand community sentiment 2. Distill insights 3. Create products to delight My guess is companies like Zapier started to hear more and more complaints of monthly subs. We pay ~$40k/year for Figma. When I see the bill every month, it doesn't feel great. I wish it was pay-per-pixel, pay-per-project, one-time-purchase etc. If you're building a startup, it's easy to copy the existing business model and apply it to your niche etc. My advice: Don't. Experiment with new business models If it strikes a chord, you'll earn 100x more trust than you would by adopting the existing business model My point: SaaS is evolving New models are emerging and it's about time. -- I'll be writing more about this.
