Category breakdown
Each category carries the weight set out in the methodology.
Renewal & Cancellation Experience30% weight
Estimated76/100
Xero renews automatically with a notice window a buyer has to track themselves, and downgrades are limited mid-term.
Price-Increase Predictability15% weight
Estimated52/100
Observed from customer contracts and renewal correspondence covering year over year uplift on renewal quotes. Based on paperwork supplied by three or more buyers, cross checked against the vendor's published terms.
Negotiation Flexibility15% weight
Estimated36/100
Vendor-reported. The vendor submitted a declaration covering concessions granted during renewal negotiations. Reviewed against public terms but not independently verified against customer contracts.
AI Terms Maturity20% weight
Estimated54/100
Xero 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. Assessed from public sources: pricing pages, terms of service, and review-mining. The vendor has not participated. Any vendor can change this by submitting a declaration.
Assessed from public information. This vendor has not submitted a declaration. We publish the invitation openly and update the card if that changes.
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.
