    Category breakdown

    Each category carries the weight set out in the methodology.

    Pricing Transparency20% weight

    Observed80/100

    Vendor-reported. The vendor submitted a declaration covering published list pricing and discount structure. Reviewed against public terms but not independently verified against customer contracts.

    Renewal & Cancellation Experience30% weight

    Observed60/100

    ActiveCampaign renews automatically with a notice window a buyer has to track themselves, and downgrades are limited mid-term.

    Price-Increase Predictability15% weight

    Observed48/100

    Repricing at ActiveCampaign arrives at renewal without a published policy or advance signal, which is where most of the risk sits.

    Negotiation Flexibility15% weight

    Observed52/100

    Observed from customer contracts and renewal correspondence covering concessions granted during renewal negotiations. Based on paperwork supplied by three or more buyers, cross checked against the vendor's published terms.

    AI Terms Maturity20% weight

    Observed56/100

    ActiveCampaign covers data handling clearly but leaves AI metering and overage behaviour loosely defined.

    How to read this: the overall figure is a weighted average of the five categories, and one evidence basis applies to the whole card rather than category by category. Built on aggregated, anonymised renewal outcomes from Venduris customers, across every category. Published only where at least three distinct customers hold the vendor, so no single client can be identified.

    Taking part does not raise a score. It changes what we can show our working against.

    This score measures commercial treatment at renewal, not product quality. A vendor can be excellent and still price hard.
