As a buyer, it's definitely nice to have more data on this. Pricing can be very opaque and sometimes I just want to know the ballpark to know if it's even worth exploring. Annoying to spend 30 minutes on a call to get that when you could have it in 2 seconds.

As an operator, I know a lot of SaaS agreements include language saying the customer will protect the vendor's confidential data including information about pricing. I doubt it's legal in the majority of the time for buyers to share this data. And if the buyer is sharing confidential data with you, you're likely taking on risk by sharing it publicly, even in aggregate form.

You could add something saying that the buyer agrees that they have the legal rights to share the information with you, to protect yourself. But at some point you should know that the majority of the time, even if that box is checked, they don't.




The buyer is already sharing that information with their bank, so the confidentiality is already broken :)


Isn't this like saying that if you fulfill your prescription at a pharmacy, your medical data is open?


Banks with business accounts is who this company should partner with. Sidesteps any contractual remedies a seller might attempt. Opt in of course for the customer.


Banks don't know the terms of the contract, nor the customer specifics, usually.

Sure, they get some good insight, but they don't know how many seats, what level of support, etc etc. They just see a transaction $X from company A -> company B.
