Executive Summary
This report supports senior strategy, product and commercial leaders at industrial software vendors in reassessing their pricing strategy in response to AI transformation. As AI moves from embedded analytics to copilots and autonomous agents, traditional Software as a Service (SaaS) pricing is fragmenting into embedded, consumption-based and premium-tier models. The challenge is that industrial software vendors seek to capture AI-driven value, while buyers prefer predictable costs they can budget and defend. This report explains which pricing models are emerging, why each creates trade-offs, and how vendors can design a pricing strategy that accelerates adoption without undermining margins.About the Authors
