SaaStr spotlighted Ulrik Lehrskov-Schmidt's Willingness to Pay consultancy (Microsoft, SAP, Samsung, Intel, Bosch as clients). The thesis is sharp: if one person plus a few agents does the work of five, per-seat pricing charges customers for the headcount you just helped them eliminate. You're pricing against your own value. WTP became PricingSaaS's exclusive partner and absorbed its 500+ person community. The credits-vs-usage-vs-outcome decision is the pricing question of 2026, and I don't have a clean answer for my own products yet.
