Go to market software vendors that publish their pricing, by category

Which go to market software vendors publish their pricing publicly? 70 of the 249 vendors in the GTM Tech Index do, at a standard a buyer can budget from without a sales call. Here they are, category by category, with the 49 that disclose nothing beside them.

The answer, in four numbers
70
publish real prices
28% of the index
86
publish partial pricing
entry tiers real, enterprise opaque
44
publish structure, no numbers
a pricing page that does not budget
49

book a demo is the whole page

Dialers & Voice is the most open category, with 8 of 18 vendors publishing real prices. Marketing Automation & ABM is the least, at 0 of 6. 213 of the 249 grades rest on the vendor's own published pricing and 36 on third party estimates where the vendor publishes nothing. Figures generated 2026-08-29 from the live index.

What the grade means

Commercial Transparency is graded on completeness, not on the price. A vendor with a full rate card at a high price grades above a vendor with a demo form at a low one.

A
Real prices published: plans, seat or usage economics, and the shape of enterprise pricing, sufficient for a buyer to budget without a call.
B
Partial pricing published (entry tiers real, enterprise opaque) or pricing published with load bearing exclusions.
C
A pricing page exists and communicates structure without numbers, or numbers so qualified they do not budget anything.
D
Book a demo is the entire commercial disclosure. In a category this competitive, silence on price is a choice, and this grade records it.

The vendors that publish, by category

Every vendor graded A on Commercial Transparency, meaning real prices published and sufficient to budget from. Each name links to the profile, where the pricing research record sits beside the seventeen axis grid. This is a list of who publishes, not a list of who is cheapest.

Marketing Automation & ABM is the one category where no indexed vendor publishes real prices. That is a finding about the category, not about any single vendor in it, and it is the first thing to know before asking for a quote there.

What to ask when the price is not published

What gates the edition we need, and what is the next edition up going to cost when we hit the gate?

Most demo only pricing is really edition pricing. The number quoted is for the tier that lacks the feature the pilot proved you need.

What are the seat minimums, the annual commitment and the usage or credit limits at our volume?

Per seat figures budget nothing until the floor and the ceiling are stated. Ask for both in the same sentence.

What is the renewal uplift, and is it capped in the contract?

The first year price is the vendor acquiring you. The second year price is the product. Only the second one is worth modelling.

What is charged for implementation, integrations and support tiers, separately from the license?

A license price that excludes the work required to use the license is a partial disclosure, and the index grades it as one.

Common questions

Which go to market software vendors publish their pricing publicly?

70 of the 249 vendors in the GTM Tech Index publish real prices, meaning plans, seat or usage economics and the shape of enterprise pricing, at a standard a buyer can budget from without a sales call. That is 28 percent of the index. Another 86 publish partial pricing, usually real entry tiers with enterprise left opaque, which brings the share with anything checkable to 63 percent. 49 vendors offer a demo request as their entire commercial disclosure. The lists on this page name every vendor graded A, category by category, and each name links to a profile carrying the full pricing research record.

Which categories of go to market software publish pricing most and least?

Dialers & Voice is the most open category in the index, with 8 of 18 vendors, 44 percent, publishing real prices. Marketing Automation & ABM is the least open, at 0 of 6, which is to say no vendor in that category publishes pricing a buyer could budget from. The pattern across the table is that categories bought by individual reps and small teams publish, and categories bought by revenue leadership on an annual contract do not: the further a product sits from a credit card, the more likely its price is a conversation.

Why do so many sales tools hide their pricing behind a demo?

Because the list price is rarely the bill. In most of these categories the per seat figure is set by edition gates, seat minimums, sending or credit limits, implementation fees and the renewal uplift, and a vendor that publishes only the headline number would be publishing the least informative part of its pricing. Holding the number back also lets the vendor price the deal to the buyer rather than to the market. The index does not take a view on whether that is reasonable. It records the choice: silence on price in a category this competitive is graded D, and 49 of 249 vendors carry that grade today.

How is pricing transparency graded in the GTM Tech Index?

On completeness, never on the price itself. A means real prices published, sufficient to budget without a call. B means partial pricing, entry tiers real and enterprise opaque, or pricing published with load bearing exclusions. C means a pricing page that communicates structure without numbers. D means book a demo is the entire disclosure. Every grade carries a source basis and a verification date: 213 of the 249 grades rest on the vendor's own published pricing and 36 on third party estimates where the vendor publishes nothing. A cheap tool with a demo form grades below an expensive tool with a rate card, which is the intended result.
