Ask HN: Creative SaaS business models

1 points by tboxer854 ↗ HN
Has anyone seen creative SaaS business models opposed to straight monthly charges?

I am thinking along the lines of where the price starts at a 1 dollar a month, and when someone signs up it goes up 25 cents and so on.

Anything else along those lines you have seen?

Small charges get drowned in transaction fees. Better to do $12 per year.

You can also charge based on usage, and just run up a tab, where they are only billed at the end of the payment cycle if they have exceeded a minimum amount. Like Google AdWords, but in reverse.
