FinancialContent reports that Salesforce and ServiceNow are moving beyond talk to active implementation of outcome-based pricing models, with Salesforce pursuing per-outcome pricing and ServiceNow testing task-completion pricing. This is a material update to the pricing shift narrative: two of the largest enterprise SaaS companies are now operationally transitioning, not just announcing pilots. Per-seat adoption has plummeted from 21% to 15% in 12 months while hybrid models surged from 27% to 41%, and the incumbents' pivot confirms the seat model is dying even at the largest scale.
