AI Is Driving a New Era of SaaS Cost Volatility
As organizations race to adopt a new generation of AI applications, they’re paying the price in unpredictable SaaS costs. Exploding AI spend, consumption-based pricing, and shadow AI are driving volatility teams didn’t plan for.
This is just one of many findings from Zylo’s upcoming 2026 SaaS Management Index*. Join Zylo leaders Ben Pippenger and Michelle Baker for an exclusive preview of the report as they unpack how AI is changing how SaaS is bought and governed—and what IT leaders need to prepare for next.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why SaaS spend no longer tracks with portfolio size
- Where shadow AI is introducing hidden cost and risk
- What it actually takes to control SaaS in 2026
If you want to understand what’s really changing in SaaS—and how to stay ahead of it—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
* The SaaS Management Index is Zylo’s annual research report on how enterprises buy, manage, and optimize SaaS, built on analysis of over $75B in SaaS spend and 40M SaaS licenses under management.
