Adobe\u00a0plans to use outcome-based pricing for its new suite of artificial intelligence (AI) products called\u00a0Adobe CX Enterprise, The Information\u00a0reported Tuesday (April 21), citing its interview with Adobe President\u00a0Anil Chakravarthy.<\/p>\n

While the company\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0disclosed the details, this pricing policy will be based in part on the value the product produces, such as the number of ad campaigns completed by its AI agents, according to the report.<\/p>\n

PYMNTS reported in February that some vendors are experimenting with\u00a0outcome-based pricing, with contracts that are tied to performance metrics, such as faster loan approvals, higher eCommerce conversion rates or reduced fraud losses. With these contracts, they link fees to demonstrable business impact rather than charging for seats or API calls.<\/p>\n

Outcome-based pricing shifts risk, as vendors must prove that their AI delivers quantifiable gains, contracts become more\u00a0complex\u00a0and measurement frameworks become vital. But this model can resonate in a budget environment in which executives demand clarity on return on investment, the report said.<\/p>\n

PYMNTS reported in March that\u00a0Foundation Capital\u00a0observed that buyers are increasingly turning off deployments that cannot defend their spend and that pricing models are evolving from…<\/p>\n
