Overview

The PricingSaaS Intelligence API provides comprehensive pricing data for thousands of B2B SaaS companies. This data helps you understand market trends, competitive positioning, and pricing strategies across the software industry.

What is Pricing Intelligence?

Pricing intelligence encompasses structured data about how software companies price their products, including:
  • Subscription tiers - Free, Starter, Professional, Enterprise plans
  • Pricing models - Per-user, per-feature, usage-based, flat-rate
  • Feature breakdowns - What features are included in each tier
  • Price points - Actual pricing amounts (when publicly available)
  • Billing cycles - Monthly, annual, multi-year options
  • Free trials - Trial periods and limitations
  • Freemium offerings - Free tier capabilities and restrictions

Data Structure

Pricing data is linked to companies in our database. Here’s how the data is organized:
