The problem with IoT platform monetization today
Many IoT monetization models stall because they fail to scale or sustain revenue beyond device sales.Â
• Reliance on upfront sales. Most platforms monetize IoT through one-time hardware purchases, missing out on recurring revenue. This model caps growth and leaves businesses vulnerable to market slowdowns.
• Fragmented ecosystems. Lack of standardization across devices, data formats, and integrations slows development and increases cost. Monetizing IoT becomes inefficient, limiting partner participation and revenue potential.
• Subscription fatigue. End users resist adding yet another subscription to manage a single device or service. This stalls user adoption and drags down retention metrics.
