🤖 Consumption-based software pricing destroys the business — Snowflake is the case study
E232 · 2025-06-21

I just wanted to comment on this consumption-based pricing. It doesn't work. And what I mean is you can have some adoption in the short term. The best example is Snowflake. But in the long term, it destroys your business.

🤖 Bottom-up SaaS is the dominant mode of business software

I felt this when I was on the board of Slack. When Microsoft put its gun sights on us, we always thought that they could not outcompete with us. And what it turns out is, when you have a massive distribution advantage, feature parity is enough, and you can actually be slightly less than good enough on the features, because distribution and bundling and packaging overpower a customer's desire to adopt a product. ... the only real long-term protective solution for Slack shareholders was to basically get bought by Salesforce so that you could be part of a bigger whole. ... This past week, Microsoft decided to go after Notion, and it's going to be, I think, a very similar story, where, you know, once they decide to sort of go after this product experience, they only need to be 80% as good, and then the distribution and bundling and packaging will take care of the other 20%.

🤖 Bottom-up SaaS is the dominant mode of business software

so I'm focused on the area of bottom-up SaaS, which is basically business software that can go viral, very much in the mold of Yammer, which was a company I founded and sold back a dozen years ago. ... I already came up with the idea 12 years ago, which is to make business software viral. I'm just going to keep investing in that thesis.
