B2B SaaS Opaque Pricing Stalls Deals and Kills Buyer Velocity

532-point HN Show HN (Apr 2024) for PriceLevel, plus confirmed 2025-2026 data: 40% of B2B SaaS companies with ARR above $10M removed public pricing. Only 4% of G2 product profiles explicitly list prices. 72% of companies changed pricing at least once in 2025. Buyers cannot evaluate or budget without a sales call.

Product Idea from this Signal

A web app that lets B2B buyers look up real contract prices and TCO for any SaaS tool without a sales call

833 โ–ฒ

Forty percent of B2B SaaS companies with ARR above $10M hide their pricing behind a sales call, and only 4% of G2 profiles list actual prices. Buyers waste weeks in discovery calls just to learn a number that other companies already know. This is a self-serve pricing intelligence layer where buyers enter a tool name, company size, and contract length and get back real contracted prices sourced from verified buyer submissions, benchmark ranges by company tier, and a total cost of ownership estimate that includes onboarding, integration, and seat growth costs that are never mentioned on a pricing page.
