Who Should Use Paid?
Paid is designed for companies where AI does real work—and where billing needs to reflect that value.
AI Product Companies
If you’re building AI-powered products—chatbots, assistants, automation tools, or any software where AI performs tasks—Paid helps you:
- Track what your AI does for each customer
- Bill based on actual usage and outcomes
- Show customers the value they’re getting
- Maintain healthy margins as usage scales
SaaS Companies Adding AI Features
If you’re enhancing your existing product with AI capabilities, Paid helps you:
- Monetize new AI features without overhauling your entire billing system
- Combine traditional seat-based pricing with usage-based AI charges
- Track AI costs separately to understand margins
- Experiment with new pricing models
AI Agencies and Service Providers
If you deploy AI solutions for clients, Paid helps you:
- Bill clients based on the work your AI performs
- Demonstrate ROI with detailed usage reports
- Manage multiple client accounts with different pricing
- Pass through AI costs with appropriate margins
Enterprises Using AI Internally
If you’re building internal AI tools and need to track usage or charge back to departments, Paid helps you:
- Monitor AI usage across the organization
- Track costs by team, project, or use case
- Understand the ROI of your AI investments
- Allocate costs appropriately
Common Use Cases
