Is usage-based pricing becoming the norm for AI tools?

Hey everyone,

I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.
That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.

In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:

Round Two on Product Hunt: What to Do (and Not Do) for a Successful Launch

We re getting ready for our second Product Hunt launch on Jan 31, and a post by @busmark_w_nika got me thinking.

What to do (that we didn't do the first time):

  • Plan your launch. What does it mean?

    • Write down everything you need to do before you launch.

    • Cleaning your copy

    • Your product images

    • Your product video (demo under 60 seconds if you can)

    • For our first launch, we didn't do anything. Even though we got 2nd Product of the Day, I would not recommend others to leave it to their luck. Plan and maximize your chances of success.

  • Keep it simple, stupid.

    • Don't overcomplicate your page with lots of marketing language.

    • Simplicity, clean product screenshots, and clear language.

    • I think this is the single most important thing to take into account when launching, and why we probably did so well on our first launch.

      • Ask yourself: Does the tagline make sense? Will others understand what the product does and what it is in under 10 seconds?

      • For us at @Pretty Prompt: Grammarly for prompting. (Grammarly = it is an extension.) Improve prompts in one click. (super clear what it does).

      • You can straight away visualise how you might use the product and what it will do for you.

  • Focus on your strengths.

    • Don't give everything you got in one go.

    • Earn the right for people to read and scroll down. Read and scroll down.

    • Save some stuff for your pinned post.

    • People have a short attention span.

    • Hook people on your most important feature, showcase it front and centre, don't give me everything together cos I'll forget, and also I'll get lost.

    • For us at @Pretty Prompt: Improve your prompts in one click. Works inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Lovable, and more.

    • Even though you have about 10 other features on Pretty Prompt, we don't talk about them right in the beginning; we just feature that one "killer feature" and let users dive deeper afterwards.

  • Product assets = show, don't tell.

    • Your images and video should be about your product.

    • Don't make it marketing-heavy. Make it product-heavy.

    • Show me what the product does, don't tell me about it.

    • For us: 60-second demo video actually using the tool. Screenshots of the top features (Improve - Refine - Save - History). Not fancy Figma designs, I mean screenshots of the actual product.

    • If you get big like Notion, Cursor, Claude, etc. you may also be able to add a more human video of you talking about the product, or new functionality, your story, etc. But for the majority, just show your product, and let the product win.

  • Learn from others.

    • Though no two products or launches are the same, you can learn from others and pick the best things that fit your own product.

    • Checkout this post by @fmerian on "The Cursor Way to Launch". Great tips.

  • Warm up the Audience.

    • Don't just rely on your followers.

    • Use as many channels as possible to maximise the reach and get people excited about your launch, even before you launch.

    • If you do this step well, the launch is just 50% of the job, and you're already a step ahead of most.

    • For us: I did a community post, Substack one, LinkedIn one, Slack one. We'll be recording a founder video too. I want it to be as human as possible; people buy into people.
