PitchBook's Q1 2026 flagship analyst note gives the transition a name: Service-as-Software (SaS). The economic logic shifts from $1,200 annual per-seat charges to $10,000 per-workflow charges as AI agent benchmarks hit $1-$10/task thresholds. Key insight: it's far easier for CIOs to pay 20% extra for an "AI Copilot" add-on from a trusted vendor than to risk migrating to an unproven AI-native startup. This bifurcates the market — incumbents who pivot survive, pure-play wrappers die. PitchBook
