When usage-based pricing applies
High usage variance between customers
Per-customer usage can vary substantially in AI products. Usage-based pricing aligns revenue with cost-to-serve.
Variable infrastructure costs
AI provider costs (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS) are usage-based. Usage-based revenue can match this cost structure.
Different pricing for different usage patterns
Light users pay less. Heavy users pay more. Usage-based pricing reflects actual value delivered.
