Newsletter which inspired

YS Buzz : your story newsletter which drops every Friday, contains a very good mix of industry updates, tech updates, trivia, and investment updates.

Was intrigued by this week one where there was a mention for

The pricing model of SAAS companies :
subscription-based pricing Vs Usage-based pricing UBP. Hylo Biz does subscription-based pricing which we have found difficult to sell. So should we relook into the other model which is proposed or even a hybrid model which would be more comfortable for the customers?

As the focus has come to ARPU (Average revenue per User) than the no of subscriptions for SAAS models.
