Toolradar Benchmarks

Software Cost Benchmarks by Team Size (2026)

Toolradar data: what a team of 5, 20 and 50 pays for 111 tools across 17 categories, computed under one method from prices confirmed on each vendor's live pricing page. A vendor page gives its own price per user; a benchmark applies the same rules to every tool so the totals can be compared.

Data as of November 5, 2026.

One method for every tool

  • For each team size, the cheapest paid plan with a published US price in USD that allows that many users. Plans sold only on quote are not counted.
  • Monthly billing and annual billing are computed apart; annual is the yearly total divided by 12. A price with no billing term next to it is not counted, except a price per month on a page that offers no yearly billing at all (no monthly or annual switch, no mention of yearly billing), which is counted as month to month.
  • Seat minimums, seat packs and user caps are applied, required add-ons and mandatory vendor fees are added, one-time setup fees are shown apart. A free plan is never the cost; whether it covers the team is shown apart.
  • Each price is confirmed on the vendor's live page by two AI checkers from different model families, each quoting the page word for word. A price that is not confirmed is left out; a higher plan left out this way is skipped only when, at its last read price, it costs more than the cheapest confirmed plan.
  • Not counted: taxes, usage (AI credits, contacts, tickets, overages), plans capped by usage volume (tickets or conversations a month), discounts shown only in the cart, behind a code or for a limited time, and optional add-ons.
  • Rows are ordered by computed cost. No score, no rank of our own; sponsored or paid status never changes inclusion or order.
