Per-seat SaaS pricing punishes growth and drives login-sharing/churn

Pain point

Buyers resent paying linearly for users when vendor costs don't scale that way; teams share logins or switch tools. Vendors in turn don't know how to price otherwise.

Signal

~37 upvotes with a contrarian top comment at 49 — contested but engaged. A direct unmet-need quote: *"Costs don't scale by users — flat rates with usage limits make more sense."* Long complaint about teams sharing logins or leaving.

Opportunity

Drop-in usage-based pricing kit for indie/small SaaS: metering SDK + flat-rate-with-limits plan builder + migration calculator showing revenue impact of switching off per-seat. Alternatively a consulting service: "pricing model audit for B2B SaaS." **Medium build; service version is immediate.**

Evidence

• Per seat pricing punishes you for growing
