Support vendors now bill per resolution (Intercom $0.99, Zendesk $1.50-$2.00), Deloitte issued revenue-recognition guidance for outcome-based agentic pricing on June 4, and Lemkin quantifies the downside at 82% gross retention as prompts stay portable. (Monetizely) Outcome pricing fixes the "one agent replaces five seats" margin math but imports usage volatility and weaker retention. The industry is trading predictable seat ARR for value-aligned-but-lumpy outcome revenue, and the accounting stack is catching up. If you're pricing an agent product, model the churn, not just the upside.
