AI is transforming enterprise software pricing by challenging traditional value metrics, requiring new approaches to align pricing with the actual economic impact AI creates. This involves distinguishing between AI improving existing outcomes, creating new outcomes, and performing work directly, which affects how software vendors should monetize AI capabilities.
