Public pricing in Customer communities
Hidden pricing moves the first comparison into a sales call.
Put the published price in context: compare pricing models and estimate setup, renewal and exit with the SaaS cost calculator.
17 of 32 companies we measured here publish it, that is 53%. Last checked 2026-10-18.
53% here against 38% across every category we measure. Customer communities sits above the overall share for this criterion.
This page counts companies, not product entries: a company with two products in this category is one company here and two rows below.

We could not look at these, or their robots.txt asks us not to. That says something about our measurement, not about them, and they are left out of the percentage above.
