Agent Era Pricing

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-07-02 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-agentnative

Redesign seat-based pricing for the agent era — when one human runs ten agents, per-seat models collapse. Use when agents are eroding seat counts, when asked to migrate to usage- or outcome-based pricing, to price an agent/API tier, or to defend revenue as customers automate their own usage. Produces a pricing migration plan: the new value metric, fences, agent-tier design, cannibalisation math, and a phased migration for existing customers. For general pricing and packaging strategy use pricing-strategy.

What to give it

Current model — plans, price points, seat definitions, current API/automation pricing if any
The evidence of pressure — seat contraction, API traffic growth, customer asks, competitor moves
Unit economics — cost to serve a seat vs an API call/agent action (rough is fine, labelled)
3-5 representative customer profiles — with seat counts and usage (the cannibalisation test set)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

The value metric passes all three tests (customer value · human/agent-agnostic · predictable)
Cannibalisation is computed on the provided cohorts, not asserted — assumptions labelled
Every fence names its gaming vector
The migration includes an explicit grandfathering decision with its long-run cost
Agent authentication/attribution is specified — whose usage is whose bill

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not price raw API calls as the value metric — unpredictable bills punish exactly the automation you want to encourage
Do not bolt an "agent seat" onto seat pricing — an agent is not a discount human; the assumption is what broke
Do not present only the happy cohort — the bridge shows the losers or it isn't math
Do not force-migrate loyal customers without a year-one cap — churn from pricing anger costs more than the uplift
Do not skip tripwires — a static price in a shifting usage regime is a slow leak in one direction or the other
