IS THIS A GOOD DEAL?
A verdict in minutes

Pick the vendor, type the discount and what you pay a year, and the curve draws your deal and ranks it, in words, from Poor to Top of the market. No upload needed. The library view lists every vendor A to Z with each line placed at your deal size, and the Advanced view lets you move the levers and watch the target move. Save positions and get alerted when the market moves against them.

ASK A HUMAN
An analyst reads the whole deal

Upload the quote, the order form or the contract, select what you need back, and a named VendorBenchmark analyst benchmarks it by hand and replies within 24 hours: your standing, areas for improvement, the risks in the agreement, and a clear target number. The benchmark program →

YOUR LIBRARY
Your whole stack vs the market

Every contract you hold benchmarked in one run: discount off list where the contract states a list, rate against rate where it does not, so you see which contracts fund your savings target and where you sit behind the market, priced per year.

COMPANY INTELLIGENCE
Who you are negotiating with

Every one of 176 tracked publishers opens on a company card: revenue, margins, and segment mix refreshed each earnings report, how the vendor sells and audits, and a Buyer's angle panel that says what the numbers mean at your table.

SELF DROP BENCHMARK
Upload the offer, get the report

Upload a vendor's offer and get the pricing benchmark back: where the offer sits against the market, the target, what each ask is worth, and the counter drafted, in a report you can forward.

WHAT NEXT
No dead ends

Your library hands off to the Deal Agent on the biggest headroom vendor; scorecards, comparisons, and review tables route onward the same way, with Ask Vera preloaded with the page's own question.

THE DATA UNDERNEATH

A benchmark is only as good as what feeds it.

Behind every benchmark sits a living data layer: verified outcomes, published price lists tracked over time, and a citable index you can quote in a board paper. Where a published curve document covers your line, the sheet reads it and says so. Where none does, the curve is measured from that line's own peer cohort and the sheet says that instead, so you always know which of the two you are reading. The deeper reading, every chapter behind the number, stays one click away on the Advanced view.

The full method, including how your cohort is chosen and when we refuse to give you a verdict at all: Read the benchmark methodology guide → Access on request.

OUTCOME NETWORK
Give to get verified data

Contributed datapoints graded by analysts feed a verified layer on top of the community pool. Salted keys and a k=5 floor keep every contribution anonymous, and the metric is realized uplift, not headline discount.

SOFTWARE PRICE INDEX
A number you can cite

A quarterly, citable index of software pricing, published as versioned snapshots with a public and keyed API. Reference a fixed figure in a board paper without it shifting under you.

TERMS WATCH
Price lists, watched

Vendor published price lists are diffed on every refresh and priced at your own seat count, so you see a list-price move the day it lands. Exposure aggregates across your stack.

SCENARIOS, COMPARISONS, ALERTS
Save a run, watch it move

Save any run, compare scenarios side by side, and get alerted when the market moves against a saved position. The free benchmark explorer stays open for quick self-serve comparisons.

Know the fair number before the vendor names theirs.

1,471 vendors. Three views. An analyst when you want one.
