Results of my SaaS Price & Value Survey
80% of responses said they’ve added AI features and either haven’t changed pricing or customers haven’t cared. https://forstarters.substack.com/p/for-starters-83-the-monetization This suggests to me the NRR squeeze is less about absorbing variable token costs, and more about a misalignment between product and commercialization.

@Robert Van Cleef thanks for joining.
"Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?"
I loved hearing Alex Karp on CNBC say that tokens measure the wrong thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A3sGymV6kY I'm not sure I agree with him on the needing to deploy your own models to overcome it. There's so much we can do in pricing to "fix" this!

I agree. Token pricing betrays these companies don't know how to articulate value. Google and Microsoft are well positioned provide the models for those enterprises that don't want to maintain their own.
Change the pricing metric, change the basis of customer trust
How you charge goes a long way into defining how customers receive value from you. When the metric changes, customers will re-evaluate if the value is still there and can be trusted. When Hubspot changed their model, they faced backlash not because they didn't plan for different segments, but because the customers didn't fully understand the new model. The lesson: CLEAR and PROACTIVE communication about how the new model will impact each customer goes a long way. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7474793314920304640/ Love to hear your thoughts!

Fully agree on the pricing metric communicating trust. Just like everything else in the marketing, it should clearly communicate who the product is for and who the product is not for. While it's awkward when a company decides to shift strategic focus away from a legacy customer segment the churn has already been factored into the new model.
Have apps, will not launch syndrome!
Hi everyone, thanks for reaching out as you have and the support. Just getting up to speed on you all and what this place is because it seems the exact place I need to be. I've created three apps and a skill.md file that I think will revolutionise filmmakers and non-profits' grant seeking process. It's been working for me now for nearly a month and saved literally months of work in one skill. I'd like to wrap it or release it as a skill and monetize it, does anyone have experience with this?

There's a key strategic question here I've helped many founders navigate: - Is there more value in keeping this tool to yourself and maximizing the productivity gains in your existing business? - Or after factoring in the costs of marketing, sales, customer support, product maintenance, is there more value in commercializing it? While every situation is a little different and depends on what the long range goals are, quantifying the value of the product this way usually makes the answer pretty obvious.
