The old way of offering SaaS has changed, forever.

The shift from Software as a Service to Service as a Software thanks to AI is more disruptive than we might realize.

AI startups aren’t just offering new capabilities—they’re redefining how we pay for software.

The biggest current game-changer is moving from charging for access to software (traditional subscription) to pricing based on work delivered or even outcome success.

This new model is transformative. Why?

It lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) and reduces risk for the customer. And since TCO and risk are inversely related to willingness to pay (and adoption),AI-powered SaaS generates more money, faster and is simply outpacing traditional competitors.

In fact, a study conducted by Stripe highlights just how powerful this effect can be.

How should traditional SaaS respond? Adding more AI features? Go full PLG? Better positioning?
