Pricing benchmarks
Stop overpaying for software. Win every renewal and new deal.
Pricing benchmarks have been locked behind five-figure paywalls that keep the data and sell you the service. StackIQ is opening them up. Upload 5 contracts and StackIQ benchmarks each one against anonymized deals from companies your size in your industry, so you see exactly where you are overpaying and walk into any deal, a renewal or a new contract, with the number that wins it.
Free. No sales call. Contracts are anonymized before anything is shared.
The vendor has the data. You are about to sign for three years without it.
Every vendor quotes you as if you are the only customer. The renewal lands with a 7% uplift, procurement asks for leverage, and there is none to be had because nobody in the building knows whether the price is in line with what comparable companies pay. If you have ever searched for how to get leverage when a SaaS contract is coming up for renewal, this is the answer: the number. Managed negotiation services will find it for you, for $36k to $78k a year, and keep it. Benchmark subscriptions are priced for the Fortune 500. Everyone else negotiates blind, and signs for years. For the full playbook, read how to get leverage in a SaaS renewal.
Benchmark your contracts in three steps
Upload 5 contracts.
PDFs, order forms, or renewal quotes. StackIQ's document intelligence extracts vendor, product, seat count, unit price, term, and uplift automatically. You do not fill in a form.
See your benchmark.
For each contract you get your effective price per seat (or per unit) against the benchmark range for companies your size in your industry, and a flag on every line that sits above the range. That flag is your opening position.
Keep contributing, keep winning.
Add contracts as they renew and your benchmarks stay live. Every upload tightens the ranges for everyone, including you.
We are building the largest open benchmark set for software pricing
Pricing data only works when enough companies share it, and until now the only people collecting it were selling it back at a markup. We are commoditizing it on purpose, and we are not being modest about the goal: every product a company renews, benchmarked from real contracts, open to the people who sign them. Your contracts are anonymized at upload. Company name, signatories, and identifying terms are stripped before any price point enters the set. What remains is the product, the industry, the company size band, the volume, and the price, which is what makes the benchmark relevant to a company like yours and nothing a vendor could trace back to you.
Early access, and why it is worth more now
We are building the set now, so early members get what later members will not. Every contract you upload benchmarks against everything already in the set, and we tell you plainly when a vendor has too few data points to call. Where a benchmark is thin, StackIQ layers in its own pricing intelligence (list-price analysis, renewal uplift patterns, and the contract structures we have seen in customer work) so you still walk into the room with a number. And the ranges you help build are the ranges you negotiate against next year. This page will show live coverage as the set grows.
Frequently asked questions
Is it actually free?
Yes. The benchmark tier is funded by contributions, not subscriptions. StackIQ's paid platform (renewal tracking, overlap analysis, AI replacement) sits on top and is optional.
What happens to my contracts?
They are parsed, anonymized, and stored under the same SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 controls as the rest of StackIQ. No other member ever sees your document or your company name.
Which vendors are covered?
Coverage grows with every upload. Today it is strongest in the tools companies renew most often (collaboration, CRM, support, security, and Microsoft agreements). Upload yours and we will tell you immediately how many data points exist for each product.
Why 5 contracts?
Five is enough to seed useful ranges and small enough to gather in an afternoon from your renewal folder.
How is this different from a managed negotiation service?
A managed negotiation service runs the deal for you, charges a fee, and keeps the pricing data it collects. StackIQ gives you that clarity directly, so you stop guessing whether you are overpaying. You see your effective price on every product against the benchmark for companies your size in your industry, and which lines sit above the range. You keep the data, the vendor relationship, and the decision, and you negotiate from evidence yourself.
