Each category carries the weight set out in the methodology.
QuickBooks Online publishes plan pricing openly, so a buyer walks into the renewal already holding the list price.
Observed from customer contracts and renewal correspondence covering notice windows and cancellation handling at renewal. Based on paperwork supplied by three or more buyers, cross checked against the vendor's published terms.
Repricing at QuickBooks Online arrives at renewal without a published policy or advance signal, which is where most of the risk sits.
Vendor-reported. The vendor submitted a declaration covering concessions granted during renewal negotiations. Reviewed against public terms but not independently verified against customer contracts.
QuickBooks Online 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.
Venduris tracks your renewal dates, notice windows, and price movements so none of this arrives as a surprise.
