A lot of people complain with SaaS that take a cut on revenue, when it’s not justified. For instance, if you are a payment processor, it makes sense to price based on the volume of transaction (your risk/work increases with the volume of transaction). But if you’re a « pure » SaaS, like a Sales commission software, would it make sense to take a cut on the amount of commission you manage?

Whenever you charge based on "value" rather than on based on cost of providing a service, you risk being undercut by a competitor.
