While the subscription-based pricing option has been the popular go-to for many SaaS companies, the usage-based model has recently seen significant traction in SaaS companies. But which solution is right for monetizing your API product? To answer that question, this week on the API Intersection podcast, we spoke with Behailu Tekletsadik, co-founder & CEO of Archetype, which is a startup focused on usage-based billing for APIs. Behailu sat down with the API Intersection team to discuss the pros and cons of a usage-based approach versus a subscription-based approach to your API pricing strategy. _____ To subscribe to the podcast, visit https://stoplight.io/podcast --- API Intersection Podcast listeners are invited to sign up for Stoplight and save up to $650!
