Why SaaS Companies Are Splitting Revenue from Engagement

from SaaS Business with Fexingo: Software-as-a-Service Companies, ARR, and Recurring Revenue · host Fexingo

Episode 34 dives into a growing tension inside subscription businesses: are you selling usage, or are you selling outcomes? Lucas and Luna break down the distinction between revenue metrics and engagement metrics, using the example of a real analytics platform that decoupled its pricing from seat count. They explore what happens when a SaaS company stops charging per user and starts charging for the value the software actually delivers — and why this move is harder than it sounds. The episode covers the operational shift, the customer pushback, and the retention data from three companies that made the switch in late 2025. If you run a subscription business or work in product, this one reframes how you think about unit economics. #SaaS #Revenue #Engagement #UsageBasedPricing #OutcomeBasedPricing #SubscriptionModel #ARR #Churn #CustomerSuccess #ProductLedGrowth #Monetization #BusinessModel #SaaSStrategy #UnitEconomics #Retention #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
