Forbes has reported on Sideqik’s unique business model and below we give you the nuts and bolts. While software as a service (SaaS) is nothing new, Sideqik is putting their own spin on it.
The Model:
- SaaS facilitates the delivery of incremental value to customers, allowing the vendor to adjust their prices over time.
- Usually price increases generally occur after new utility has been provided to the customers.
- A hybrid is emerging- combining transaction pricing with a standard SaaS subscription price. This is being called “TranSaaSion.”
- This variable pricing methodology allows TranSaaSion vendors to scale their revenue in close correlation with the utility they deliver.
- Four companies which utilize this business model include: Sideqik, Vitrue, AppFolio and Invoca.
- Sideqik bases pricing on the size of the digital audiences served by their respective solutions.
