Everyone knows that in the Cocaine pricing model, the first 3 hits are free -- then you gotta pay!

Same with AI ... Software vendors and AI model providers have been giving AI away for free to spur adoption by enterprises. Can you say “unmetered,” “complimentary,” or “included” scenarios.

Those “complimentary" subsidies are starting to disappear, as the AI industry transitions to Pay-Per-Use pricing models.

This means investing in AI is NOT just an IT procurement decision, it is now an "organizational design decision". https://hbr.org/2026/08/how-to-respond-to-the-coming-ai-cost-shock #AI #AICosts #AIPricing #HBR #Subsidized #Budgets #AIBudgeting #Pricing #Subscription #AI_Token #TokenConsumption #Enterprise_IT #AI_Token_Budgets
