3x Net revenue retention growth

Marketing for Usage-Based SaaS Startups

You've heard every pitch from agencies who “work with tech companies.” Cactus doesn't do generalist. We specialize in Usage-Based SaaS— we understand your buyer personas, your sales cycle, and the proof points that actually move deals. That's the difference between a partner who needs 6 months to ramp up and one who's effective on day one.

SaaS companies with consumption-based pricing models aligned to value delivered — API calls, data processed, or seats used. Marketing for Usage-Based SaaS companies means navigating unique challenges that generic agencies fumble: Pricing model education, CAC calculation complexity, Land-and-expand messaging, Budget uncertainty for buyers. We've built playbooks for exactly these problems — so you get a partner who already knows your market.
