SaaS Agent Pricing Strategy Skill

Overview

AI-feature pricing (handled by saas-ai-pricing-strategy) covers tier x allowance x overage x FX. Agent pricing must additionally treat outcome-conditional pricing (you only pay when the agent succeeds), intervention-credit reduction (when HITL or human-final takes over, the customer is credited), per-step pricing (when the agent platform is sold to other agent builders), and price-corridor analysis (the band between minimum-margin price and maximum-willingness-to-pay) as first-class primitives.

The agent pricing decision is the most consequential commercial decision in an agent business because it determines:

• Whether the cost-floor (cost-per-resolved-task) sits below price (margin) or above (loss)
• Whether the customer's willingness-to-pay anchor is "per ticket" (replacing human cost) or "per seat" (replacing software cost) — these are wildly different
• Whether success and intervention are aligned between vendor and customer
• Whether FX shocks destroy margin
• Whether foundation-model price spikes destroy margin
