34% of companies now have some usage-based component, up from 22% in 2023.

2. Seat-Based Pricing is Declining

Industry Deep Dives

DevTools

Heavy shift to usage-based (API calls, compute units, storage).

Marketing Tech

Tiering by contacts/subscribers rather than features.

Sales Tools

Seat-based still dominates, but with usage add-ons.

Analytics

Consumption-based becoming standard (events, queries, storage).

Implications for Your Strategy

If You're Raising Prices

Anchor high, include more value, communicate well in advance.

If You're Simplifying

Fewer tiers convert better. Reduce cognitive load.

If You're Adding Usage-Based

Start with predictable metrics. Avoid bill shock.

When competitors change pricing:

**Capture the change** immediately (screenshots, archives)

**Analyze the shift** (up, down, restructure?)

**Model the impact** (how does this affect deals in flight?)

**Update enablement** (new talk tracks if needed)

**Decide on response** (match, differentiate, or ignore)
