Can a SaaS Company Sell Its Data to AI Companies?
By Andrew Smart, founder of MON$TER · About
Yes — if it's done right. A SaaS business sits on years of workflow and usage data: how people move through software, which features get used, where tasks stall, and how problems get solved. AI companies building agents and copilots need exactly this kind of real-world activity, and most of it is not on the public web.
What usually qualifies
- Anonymized product event logs and clickstreams
- Support tickets and resolutions with personal details removed
- Workflow sequences (step A to step B to outcome)
- Aggregated usage patterns across many accounts
What does not qualify: anything with personal information (PII) left in, or data your customer contracts forbid you to share. Check your terms of service and customer agreements first — this is general information, not legal advice.
What it can pay
Published ranges on MON$TER: an exclusive one-time sale typically lands at $50K-$1M, while a non-exclusive recurring license typically runs $300K-$3M per year. Freshness, volume and how unique the workflows are drive where you land. See how much company data is worth and recurring vs. one-time deals.
