SaaS as we know it is dying and no-one is talking about it…

1 hour ago, Zapier ($5B company) started charging “pay-per-task” instead of only monthly subscriptions

When you can align customer incentives with your business model, it’s a beautiful thing

Bullish.

SaaS companies were able to get away with charging monthly for far too long.

Welcome to the pay-per-task software era.



Not surprised it’s the community-led companies that are moving to this model the quickest:

1. Understand community sentiment
2. Distill insights
3. Create products to delight

My guess is companies like Zapier started to hear more and more complaints of monthly subs.

We pay ~$40k/year for Figma. When I see the bill every month, it doesn’t feel great.

I wish it was pay-per-pixel, pay-per-project, one-time-purchase etc.

If you’re building a startup, it’s easy to copy the existing business model and apply it to your niche etc.

My advice:

Don’t. Experiment with new business models

If it strikes a chord, you’ll earn 100x more trust than you would by adopting the existing business model

My point: SaaS is evolving

New models are emerging and it’s about time.
