Why do some software companies not publish their pricing?

Quick answer: 26 of the 252 tools we track publish no comparable figure. It is usually deliberate: usage-based billing, a configurator, or quote-only enterprise sales all move the number into a conversation rather than onto a page.

26 of 252 tools give no figure you can plan with. Three patterns account for nearly all of it.

Usage-based. Amplitude and Mixpanel both moved to plans that start at $0 and meter on event volume, so there is no rate to quote above the free allowance.

Configurators. Klaviyo replaced its flat email tier with a builder that prices on products and profile count, so two accounts of the same size can pay very different amounts.

Quote-only. Enterprise data and support platforms typically publish nothing at all, which is a sales strategy rather than an oversight.

Where we cannot see a figure we record that we could not verify rather than repeating a number from a third-party summary.

Computed from DigiJaws’ pricing dataset of 252 tools, each figure read from the vendor’s own pricing page on a recorded date. The data is open at /pricing-data.json.

Frequently asked

Is quote-only pricing more expensive?

Not automatically, but it removes your ability to compare before talking to sales, and it means the price you are offered depends on what you look like you can pay.

How should I budget for usage-based tools?

Model the metered unit — events, credits, records — against your actual volume before committing, because the entry price tells you nothing about the bill.
