Each 25-30 minute episode will cover a topic critical to leading a B2B software company, and chock-full of practical advice that can be introduced and applied in most Native-AI, Agentic AI, and B2B software and SaaS companies.
On this episode, Dave "CAC" Kellogg and Ray "Growth" Rike discuss in detail how Usage-Based Pricing (UBP) impacts the calculation of Customer Acquisition Cost and it's efficiency derivatives including CAC Ratio and CAC Payback Period.
They discuss the three primary different types of Usage-Based Pricing Models including:
- Pure usage-based or consumption-based pricing with no minimum commitments
- Minimum commitment agreement that includes up to #x units and then overage $/unit over the minimum
- Annual Subscription agreement to the platform and a $/unit of usage in addition to the annual subscription
Each of the above models can impact what is consider Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), Variable Recurrring Revenue (VRR) and/or pure variable revenue - and that will accordingly impact the CAC efficiency metric calculation methodology.
