The Wicketry SaaS Price Index: +7.9% — the median confirmed price change since 25 Aug 2026, across 11 matched movements at 3 of the 156 tools tracked.

How this number is computed, and what it refuses

How it is computed. A movement counts only where a confirmed change holds the same number of prices before and after, each pair in the same currency — so every figure is a price compared with the price it replaced, on the vendor's own page, with both readings and both dates recorded. 8 of the 11 matched movements rose and 3 fell, between -51.7% and +107.1%; the mean is +19.5% and the median is the headline because a mean over a base this size follows its extremes. What is refused: readings not yet confirmed by a second clean read; plans that appeared or were withdrawn, which change a ladder rather than a price; ladders that did not move one-for-one; and weighting of any kind, because the record holds no revenue or seat counts. It is an index of observed list-price movement across 3 of 156 tracked tools — not a claim about what the market spends.

Browse by category

Each category page states what “best” can honestly mean, then names a tool per axis — cheapest way in, real free plans, local-currency billing — with every figure dated and linked to its source.

Our three rules

1.We are paid by some of the tools we list, never for a ranking or a rating. A commission never moves a row — every page carrying one says so at the top.
2.Every price links to the page it came from and shows the day we read it. If we couldn’t read a page, we say so — we never guess.
3.When a price changes our pages update — and the old price stays visible in the tool’s history, forever.
