How SaaS Leaders Use Credit Pricing Models
As SaaS leaders continue pushing towards agentic products, credit models have become an increasingly popular way to move down the value chain from inputs to outcomes.
Credits deliver the holy grail of SaaS pricing: usage-based fairness without billing chaos. They allow customers to pay for what they consume within predictable spending guardrails, and they offer companies a flexible path to implementation.

Credits are adaptable. And while they often require sophisticated modeling (e.g., Autofill = 1 credit, Auto Create a Formula = 5 credits), actions and tasks are easier to define and execute than outcomes.
