    Category breakdown

    Each category carries the weight set out in the methodology.

    Pricing Transparency20% weight

    Observed86/100

    Zoom publishes plan pricing openly, so a buyer walks into the renewal already holding the list price.

    Renewal & Cancellation Experience30% weight

    Observed60/100

    Vendor-reported. The vendor submitted a declaration covering notice windows and cancellation handling at renewal. Reviewed against public terms but not independently verified against customer contracts.

    Price-Increase Predictability15% weight

    Observed54/100

    Zoom has no stated increase policy, though observed moves have stayed within a broadly consistent range.

    Negotiation Flexibility15% weight

    Observed50/100

    Discounting at Zoom is discretionary: available on multi-year or larger commitments, rarely on a flat renewal.

    AI Terms Maturity20% weight

    Observed62/100

    Observed from customer contracts and renewal correspondence covering AI usage, data and model terms in the signed agreement. Based on paperwork supplied by three or more buyers, cross checked against the vendor's published terms.

    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.
