Should my SaaS use usage-based or seat-based pricing?

Seat-based pricing scales with team size, predicts revenue best, and matches how procurement budgets work. Usage-based scales with value delivered but creates buyer anxiety at large invoices and complicates forecasting. Most indie SaaS should default to seat-based with optional usage caps; pure usage-based suits infrastructure tools where the customer expects metered billing.
