The Business of Subscriptions - DigitalRoute

Mastering the business of subscriptions – solving the data challenge.

If you’re offering your customers subscriptions, you’ve probably already discovered the benefits of this business model. You get recurring revenue, are able to quickly grow your customer base, and can build stronger customer relationships. But there are a few problems with subscriptions…

With a “one size fits all” subscription, all customers pay the same rate, regardless of how much they use the service. As their usage increases, your costs go up, but not necessarily your revenue. Another problem is that customers want more options and flexibility, which flat-rate and tiered subscriptions can’t easily address.

The good news is that many companies are discovering that adding pricing based on consumption helps them grown their revenue faster.

The rise of SaaS usage-based pricing

Public SaaS companies that offer usage-based pricing have 38% more annual revenue growth than those without it. Here are 3 reasons why usage-based pricing helps SaaS companies increase revenue, attract new customers and reduce churn.
