What it shows

Freemium fuels top-of-funnel adoption but brings non-paying support debt.
Usage-based pricing aligns value directly but complicates forecasting.
Tiered seat pricing scales cleanly with enterprise headcount.

The takeaway

Match pricing to where buyers perceive value: seats, consumption units, or simplicity.
