Awesome review of a great AI Monetisation Strategy by one of my favourite SaaS companies 🎉
Here’s why I love monday.com’s AI credit-model play: AI as part-and-parcel 👉 Monday built AI into their core product fabric 👉 Not bolted on as a premium feature or upsell 👉 Available across all existing plans Behavioral economics: 👉 Zero-risk experimentation with 500 free credits 👉 Features continue working even after credits deplete 👉 Pay only for successful outcomes, not attempts Enterprise strategy: 👉 Security protocols baked in from day one 👉 Data residency compliance built into architecture 👉 Governance frameworks addressing key adoption barriers Competitive positioning: 👉 Asana offers AI for free across all plans, but has an advanced AI Studio that’s Enterprise only 👉 ClickUp opted for flat $7 add-on across plans 👉 Monday created middle path maximizing adoption The Bigger Picture? This is part of the SaaS industry's evolution from ‘charging for access’ to ‘charging for outcomes’. A fundamental shift in how software delivers and captures value. Monday. com is betting early adopters will pay for proven value rather than potential. So - is this credit approach the future of AI monetization in SaaS?
