Type five fields, vendor, product line, contract value, industry and region, and the sheet answers in order: the discount you are offered, what comparable customers get at your size, and where the deal ranks, in words, from Poor to Top of the market. All 1,380 benchmarks draw that same sheet. Save scenarios and get alerted when the market moves against them.
On the Enterprise plan: a VendorBenchmark analyst reviews your pricing and terms against the cohort and delivers a written report with your standing, areas for improvement, the risks in the agreement, and a clear target number.
Every saved scenario replayed against today's market at once, so you see which contracts fund your savings target and where you sit above the median, priced per year.
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.
Open the case on any benchmark and it ends with twenty plus moves on the case's own numbers: six Vera-drafted emails, negotiation briefs as executive PDFs, a 30 day share link, and market alerts on your saved position.
The portfolio benchmark hands off to the savings plan and a negotiation 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.
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 of reference deals 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
