Outcome-based pricing
Price on what you deliver. Charge when you've proven it.
The problem with license pricing
Software vendors have been selling the same way for decades: charge for access, not results. It worked when software was infrastructure. It breaks down when software is supposed to deliver measurable outcomes.
Outcome pricing should be the natural model for any product that produces a measurable result. But it requires infrastructure that most vendors don't have: a way to measure independently, verify what counts, handle disputes, and settle automatically.
That infrastructure is what Acretix provides.
Customers resist paying for software they haven't seen deliver value yet
Seat-based pricing commoditizes products and invites competitive displacement
Usage-based billing creates friction without connecting to actual customer outcomes
Every renewal becomes a negotiation because there is no shared record of what happened
From outcome claim to verified invoice
Price on what you deliver, not what you license
Define the outcome metric that matters to the customer — cost reduction, revenue gained, hours saved, errors eliminated. Structure the pricing formula against it.
A jointly agreed measurement layer
Outcome Measure connects to the source systems both parties agreed to in Deal Designer. The count is produced from agreed sources, not unilaterally. Both parties see the same number.
Trusted commercial determination
Outcome Verify applies the agreed criteria. Count or no-count. Disputes handled with full evidence. Both parties trust the determination because neither controls it.
Settlement that runs itself
Outcome Settle executes the pricing formula, generates the invoice, and handles caps, floors, and true-ups. No manual reconciliation. No end-of-quarter surprises.
From deal design to verified settlement
Define the outcome metric and pricing formula
Use Deal Designer to specify what outcome is being sold, how it is measured, what is included and excluded, and how the economics work. Both parties agree before go-live.
Measure from agreed source systems
Outcome Measure connects to the source systems documented in the deal specification. Evidence is ingested from agreed sources. The metric is calculated independently — not from your platform.
Verify what counts against the agreed criteria
Outcome Verify applies the deal rules. Each result is either counted or not counted, with a reason. Disputes are handled with full evidence and audit trail.
Settle automatically
Outcome Settle executes the formula, generates the invoice, and integrates with your billing system. The customer receives a settlement statement showing exactly what happened and why.
