The real question for any data leader building a stack today: will vertical data tools become "the Cursor of data", or will the Cursor of data... just be Cursor [sub in Claude Code, Codex, etc.] If I…

The era of "seat-based" SaaS is ending faster than the spreadsheets can update.
We just analyzed spend data across 15,000 mid-market companies. The trend is undeniable: companies are trading human seats for AI credits.
Intercom: Moving from flat subscriptions to "Per-AI-Resolution" billing. We've seen some bills jump 4x in a single quarter as adoption scales.
Klarna: Publicly moving away from Salesforce and Workday in favor of internal AI agents.
HubSpot: Layering "Breeze" credits on top of existing tiers.
For the CFO, this is a nightmare. You can't forecast a bill that scales with usage if you don't have a cap on the usage itself. Procurement used to be about negotiating the price per seat. Now, it's about understanding the efficiency of the token.
How good your company is at AI is downstream of how good your company is at managing variable spend.
If you're an engineer building the systems to track this, we're hiring.
