Someone described their business in a sentence. This is what came back — specific moves, priced per month, with the sums written out.
What we took you to be
Collaboration platform sold per seat per month with optional AI add‑on — for Businesses of all sizes; large share of free‑tier workspaces, paid seats in existing workspaces.
Your numbers as we read them: ~$1.1M/mo revenue (100k paid seats × $10 + 20k AI add‑on seats × $5). Assumed 500k total seats, 400k free seats, 15% of paid seats idle, 5% of free seats high‑usage, 2 M AI requests/month for enterprise.
Wrong about something? Add the correction to your description and run it again — the estimates move with it.
01PricingTest it small · a day
Charge $2/mo inactivity fee on idle paid seats
≈ $30k–30k/mo100,000 paid seats × 15% idle × $2
Why now: 15% of paid seats log fewer than 5 actions/month, representing unused capacity that can be monetised.
Identify paid seats with <5 actions in the last 30 days and add a $2 per seat monthly surcharge. Existing seats keep current price; only idle seats incur the fee. Notify customers with a brief email and update billing settings.
Do this first
Export the last month’s activity log, flag seats with <5 actions, and calculate count.
02What you sellTest it small · a day
Offer 30‑day free AI add‑on to top 5% free workspaces
Why now: AI add‑on yields $5/mo per seat and shows 20% uptake when exposed; targeting high‑usage free workspaces can lift conversion.
Select free‑tier workspaces with >20 active users (≈5% of free seats = 20k seats). Grant them a 30‑day free AI add‑on trial. After trial, upsell at $5/mo per seat; assume 25% conversion.
Do this first
Run a query on the user database to list free workspaces meeting the >20‑user threshold.
03Cutting costWorth the week · a week
Swap hosted AI chat for open‑webui to save $60k/mo
≈ $60k–60k/mo2,000,000 AI requests × $0.03 saved per request
Why now: Open‑webui can be self‑hosted at $0.02 per request versus current $0.05, and the repo is production‑ready.
Migrate enterprise customers’ AI chat backend to the open‑webui self‑hosted stack. Estimate 2 M requests/month; per‑request saving $0.03 yields $60k/month. Phase rollout over 4 weeks, monitor latency.
