usage based pricing foftware sounds fair until you actually get the bill
We switched a chunk of our stack to usage based pricing software last quarter bc we were sick of paying flat seat fees for tools half the team barely touched. First month was totally fine. Second month a client campaign spiked hard and our usage basically tripled overnight. Nobody noticed until finance flagged an invoice almost 4x what we'd budgeted. Nothing was hidden but we never modeled what a rlly busy month looks like. And now I'm here wondering if flat rate was the better deal the whole time...
