I work in the video AI world.

We gave up on subscriptions long ago. They're rinky dink and get you a paltry amount of utilization before they run out.

The per day per seat costs can exceed $1000. This is already normal for studios, and it's already producing positive ROI.

There's simply no way to price video any other way than by usage. I suspect the same will come for everything.

I don't think there's any way for all of the current AI models to work except as a usage model. The question is whether or not people are willing to pay for it that way in the long-term.

It sounds like it is producing positive ROI for your side, but I’m curious what the bean counters at the studios think of the bill when the budgets tighten.

positive ROI for customers?
