Better sales execution of pricing

We design commercial execution into every engagement – including renewal upsell and cross-sell programs with sales plays, sales positioning, and value-selling techniques – so P&L impact is realized, not just recommended.

Fact-based buyer & competitor research

Rigorous analytics and deep strategic perspective help clients understand their true pricing power and where it can be expanded – backed by data, not assumption.

AI Pricing for Software Companies

Our May 2026 survey of SaaS CXOs in North America and Europe found:

95%
of SaaS companies plan to update their pricing in the next 12 months due to AI disruption.
91%
of executives say AI-driven gross margin compression has already come up – or will within six months – with their board, investors, or in diligence.
73%
have no formal, enforced finance guardrails on AI pricing despite rising COGS (AI inference costs).
50%
know or believe their customers have AI agents generating value from their software. Of those, 77% lack explicit pricing for non-human identities (NHIs).

The Five Keys to AI Pricing

Our framework for helping software companies successfully monetize AI functionality

1
Quantify credible ROI
Buyers need evidence that AI creates measurable revenue, productivity, or cost impact.

2
Price to value with margin protection
Use value-based, and not cost plus pricing, but protect against cost overruns from heavy users.

3
Package for AI adoption
Put differentiated AI features in premium tiers, and use common AI features to lift entry-level value.

4
Choose the right pricing metric and structure
Use metrics and structures that correlate with value, are forecastable, and grow as AI and agent usage scales.

5
Set prices through willingness-to-pay research
Use fresh, blinded willingness-to-pay research to set prices, guardrails, and packaging choices.

Executing the 5 Keys

Successfully monetizing AI pricing requires strong commercial enablement. The sales motion has to change, because that is where AI value is ultimately captured.
