FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DigitalRoute Introduces Pricing and Rating on UsageCloud™ – To Make Monetization of AI-Usage, and Outcomes Effective
New capability brings config-driven pricing, rating, and auditability — built AI-ready with MCP and a headless UX for the AIOps era
STOCKHOLM — August 3, 2026 — DigitalRoute® today announced Pricing & Rating, a new capability on its UsageCloud™ platform that lets B2B SaaS and AI companies monetize usage, outcomes, AI credits, and hybrid models — configured, not coded, and increasingly run by AI itself. Pricing & Rating extends UsageCloud™with a full commercial layer: products, plans, pricing, contracts, a deterministic rating engine, and audit-ready period summaries — turning raw usage into invoice-ready billable output, fully traceable back to the source event.
“Pricing on untrusted data is a huge financial liability and no one should take that risk,” DigitalRoute® Emil Eriksson, Chief Product Officer. “UsageCloud™ operates also pricing and rating on real-time, high-fidelity usage data that product telemetry can never provide — So that teams can trust and operate on one truth.”
Built for Enterprises Moving to Monetize AI, Usage- and Outcomes.
According to recent “state of AI monetization” Research by DigitalRoute, 75% of new digital products will be monetized by usage or outcomes by 2027, and 60–80% of buyers now prefer it. Meanwhile 80% of CFOs say AI monetization is squeezing margins as inference costs outrun seat-based pricing. Pricing & Rating targets exactly this shift.
What’s New
- Any pricing model, no code. Linear and tiered pricing, combinable with dimensional (API type, region, AI model) and outcome-based pricing.
- Deterministic rating. Usage is always rated at the terms in effect when it happened — accurate even with late data or price changes.
- Versioned, effective-dated. Every change is immutable and preserved — nothing overwritten.
- Preview before publish. See real impact against live usage before going live.
- Automated close, full audit. Summaries push to ERP automatically; every line item traces to its source event, price, and contract — ready for IFRS 15, SOC 2, and GDPR.
- Safe corrections. Re-rating and re-ingestion fix errors without losing history.
It sits alongside a customer’s existing ERP or billing systems — no migration, no schema changes.
AI-Ready from Day One
Built for the AIOps era, not just dashboards. Pricing & Rating runs on MCP, so AI agents can query pricing, plans, and contracts directly, and DigitalRoute is shipping a headless UX where teams describe changes in plain language and AI executes them — with dry-run and full audit built in. Pricing operations an agent can run, not just a UI to click through.
Proven Results
A visual design platform layered AI-credit pricing onto its existing flat plans and ERP — zero ERP changes. Results: 44% gross margin recovery, AI-billed accounts up from 8% to 52%, 8-week launch (1 day for pricing config), and 2% erroneous data caught before billing.
“We were in hurry to launch the new models and I wasn’t asking my CFO to replace our ERP — I was showing her DigitalRoute can upgrade what we have” said the customer’s CPO. “None of my customers churned. Instead many upgraded.”
Availability
Pricing & Rating is available now within UsageCloud™, alongside DigitalRoute’s usage data ingestion and enrichment capabilities. MVP supports linear and tiered pricing, combinable with dimensional and outcome-based models, with more on the roadmap.
