"AI is changing how SaaS gets priced. Most organizations aren't ripping out their software stack; they're layering AI on top of existing workflows and systems. This shifts the question from 'What will AI replace?' to 'What are customers still willing to pay for?'. The market is expanding, but SaaS is capturing a smaller share of that value."
"AI strips SaaS down and forces a repricing - from features to outcomes, access to impact, and functionality to value delivered. SaaS vendors aren't competing on who can build more, but on who can prove what is worth paying for."
SaaS growth has traditionally relied on adding features, but AI is changing this dynamic. Customers are now more focused on the outcomes that features deliver rather than the features themselves. As AI enhances existing functionalities, SaaS vendors face pricing pressures and declining valuations. The market is expanding, yet SaaS captures less value as AI compresses the worth of features. Vendors must now demonstrate the value of their offerings, shifting competition from feature quantity to outcome effectiveness.
