The money
Renewals are where software budgets quietly grow
01
12.5%
Median list-price increase across 9 major SaaS vendors in 2025 and 2026. The biggest: 33%.
Price changes data02
3 of 50
SaaS contracts cap how much the price can rise at renewal. 24 of 50 renew at the then-current or list price, or allow an increase.
Contract terms data03
5 of 9
Price increases were tied to AI features added to the plan. You pay for the AI whether your team uses it or not.
Price changes data04

Renewals by default vs renewals by decision
On your own
- The renewal quote lands 3 days before the deadline.
- You have no idea what similar companies pay.
- The AI add-on appears on the invoice. Nobody asked for it.
- You renew as is, because there's no time left.
In the club
- Someone posted the price rise weeks before your quote.
- You ask the club what others paid for the same plan.
- You know which terms buyers actually got changed.
- You walk into the call with a peer-tested plan and a notice letter ready.
Who it's for
Is this you?
Finance managers
You approve the renewal and get blamed for the increase.
IT and ops managers
You own the tools, the seats and the shelfware.
Team leads in large companies
Your team's tools come out of your budget, and procurement is busy with the big contracts.
Procurement people
You'd love one place to compare notes with peers who buy the same tools.
Vendors are welcome to follow us on LinkedIn. Membership is for buyers only.
Inside the club
A peer-to-peer community. Not a consultancy, not a software.
Members share what they pay, what they negotiated and what worked, so everyone buys better.
Slack: ask the room
Peer-to-peer channels: #price-check, #renewal-stories, #ai-pricing, #contract-terms, #templates. Post a quote, get real answers from people who bought the same thing.
The newsletter
A Substack with renewal news, price increases spotted by members and the Fine Print of the Week. Some posts are free, the best ones are for members.
Members-only content
Anonymous price benchmarks shared by members, best-practice playbooks and templates, deep dives on vendor price changes and online roundtables.

Who's behind it
Founded by Venduris, run for buyers
Tech Spend Club was founded by Venduris, which helps companies manage SaaS and AI renewals. The club is a separate, buyer-only community: no vendors, no selling, and nothing shared in the club is used for Venduris sales. If you ever want hands-on help with a renewal, Venduris is there, but you'll never be pitched in the club.
