What happens when your pricing playbook meets a Fortune 500 procurement team? In this snippet, Peter Marton (CEO of OpenMeter) and SaaS veteran Pete Abrams talk through the real behind-the-scenes of startup pricing - how early-stage companies test pricing, how big enterprise deals force a pivot, and why your sales team often ends up defining the infrastructure.

Why did pricing shift from static licenses to usage-based? Because speed keeps reshaping how software is built, sold, and used. In this short clip, Peter Marton, founder of #OpenMeter, talks with SaaS pricing veteran Pete Abrams about what really changed. From locked-in licenses and 20 percent support fees to flexible, real-time billing, they trace how infrastructure and buyer expectations pushed pricing to evolve.

Why did microservices beat SOA? Because they let teams build faster. In this short clip, Peter Marton, founder of OpenMeter, chats with SaaS pricing veteran Pete Abrams about how speed has shaped every shift in software - from architecture to programming languages to pricing models. Java and .NET over C++. Multiple languages in every enterprise stack. New approaches to pricing. It all ties back to one thing: delivering business value faster.

It’s 2025 - Why are we still manually provisioning billing plans? With OpenMeter, pricing logic lives outside your app. No more new deployments for every custom deal. No more hardcoded “enterprise” flags. Just clean, flexible pricing that scales. https://lnkd.in/g3CCi5aA

There’s a hidden cost in building your own metering and billing: Focus. Every hour your team spends maintaining that system is an hour not spent on your product. Every weird bug, every edge case, every manual invoice - it adds up. OpenMeter handles the messy parts so your team can get back to building.

Want to know how your biggest customer is using your platform right now? 🤔 With OpenMeter, you don’t have to ask the data team. Or go digging through logs. Or wait for next month’s invoice. You can see it, live. 🎯 Right down to the second. And you can share it with the customer too. https://lnkd.in/g3CCi5aA

Pricing experiments shouldn’t need a sprint. But for a lot of teams, changing a pricing plan is just as hard as building a new feature. New endpoints. New permissions. New invoice logic. OpenMeter fixes that. Pricing becomes something RevOps or Product can own. Experiment, iterate, repeat. https://lnkd.in/dYxV7RuT

 Quick question: If a customer goes over their usage limits, do you know right away? Do they? 🤔 If the answer is no, you’re not alone. Most teams find out after the invoice goes out. OpenMeter lets you set usage limits, real-time alerts, and graceful throttles. So you can avoid awkward billing surprises. And your customers can stay in control.
