Frequently asked questions
What's a normal vendor uplift?
Without negotiation: 5-12% per year is typical, 15-25% on consumption tools or when the vendor knows you're locked in. With negotiation: most teams get 0-5% if they ask early.
When should I start the renewal conversation?
90 days before renewal for SMB tools, 120-180 days for enterprise. The vendor's quota cycle is your friend, most reps will give the best discount at quarter-end.
