Product Growth Stories

AI feature pricing unit economics just broke your SaaS margins — here's how to fix them before they spiral out of control. Adding AI to your product changes everything about how you price it. Traditional SaaS was built on near-zero cost-to-serve. AI isn't. If your pricing model is more than two years old, you're likely subsidizing your heaviest users without knowing it. This episode breaks down exactly how to restructure your unit economics before the margin damage compounds. Roee Hartuv walks through why your highest-usage customers may now be your biggest cost center, how to choose between usage-based, seat-based, and outcome-based pricing models for AI features, and why pricing can no longer be a static annual decision. As he puts it: "Pricing and packaging is becoming like products. It is never static. Especially if you have AI — you need to be prepared to iterate, test, improve, learn." You'll also learn why outcome-based pricing works for vertical AI solutions but breaks down for horizontal platforms, and how packaging alignment can recover retention without discounting. ABOUT THE GUEST Roee Hartuv is a Senior Consultant at Willingness to Pay with 15 years in software sales. He built a go-to-market strategy consulting practice and identified pricing as the single highest-ROI growth lever available to SaaS founders navigating the AI transition.
