Per-seat pricing
Charging a fixed monthly fee per user, common for assistants and copilots embedded in daily tools.
Definition
Per-seat pricing gives predictable costs and usually includes generous or unlimited usage within fair-use limits. It suits tools that every team member uses regularly, but it can be wasteful when adoption is uneven. Vendors sometimes combine seats with usage credits for expensive features.
