Should you build or buy Usage-based Pricing?

Developers at API-first companies have a question to answer: Should we build usage-based pricing on our own or buy a SaaS tool off the shelf? Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of each approach with Alex Dovenmuehle, a usage-based pricing expert who has built UBP systems for both Heroku and Mattermost.

In this livestream, we'll help you answer the build vs. buy question for usage-based pricing (UBP) by answering the following questions:

  • What is the SaaS landscape for usage-based pricing? Who are the players to consider and what do they offer?
  • What is the basic architecture of a usage-based pricing system?
  • Why should you build UBP on your own?
  • Why should you not build UBP on your own?
  • How should you approach the question of build vs. buy for your own application?
