About this webinar

Pricing used to be a decision you made once a year and only revisited for a new launch or in a crisis. That's over. Monetization is now in constant motion, and the AI shift is accelerating it faster than the manual processes most companies still rely on can handle.In this fireside-style discussion, Andrew Garvin, Co-Founder and COO of Metronome, shares what he's seeing across the fastest-growing AI businesses, and why getting monetization right has become one of the clearest predictors of whether a company is primed for rapid growth. He'll be joined by Alexandra Demopoulos, Head of Monetization at Aiven, who brings 15+ years of experience in pricing software and infrastructure across enterprise storage, banking, and high-growth API products. Together they unpack what actually changes when you treat monetization as a living system, and what it takes to build pricing that keeps pace with how fast your business is moving.

Bring your questions. The session closes with live audience Q&A.

What You'll Learn

Why pricing has shifted from a periodic reset to a continuous discipline
Which long-held pricing assumptions break under agentic and high-volume usage
How leading teams treat monetization as a growth lever, not a back-office function

About this webinar

In this session, Elena Verna, Head of Growth at Lovable, joins Metronome to share how Lovable is approaching one of the toughest open questions in software: how to price AI.
‍
Elena will discuss what makes AI pricing uniquely complex, why traditional SaaS models fall short, and how Lovable is experimenting with new approaches that better reflect the value AI delivers. She’ll also share her perspective on where AI monetization is heading — and what companies can do today to prepare for that shift.

We'll cover:

Why AI has upended the logic of SaaS pricing and why there’s still no clear playbook.
How Lovable is navigating the tension between self-serve and enterprise monetization.
What it takes to evolve from usage-based pricing toward outcomes-based value.
