How to read this index

Three things to know before you quote a number from it.

How each price was read

Each price comes from the vendor's own website, read on the date shown. The source column links the page. Where a price is per user or per site, the line says how many it covers. The vendor's own words for every price are in the CSV. Prices are re-read each quarter.

What this index does not claim

No estimates. A vendor that quotes only on request has no figure here. Prices in other currencies are not converted and stay out of every total. A figure is not the whole bill. Extra seats, add-ons, set-up fees and taxes are left out unless the line names them. It makes no claim about change over time: this edition is the baseline.

Who made it, and how to cite it

Ownware publishes this index. We sell buy-once tools for these same jobs. That is why we track what renting them costs. Cite it as: The SaaS Rent Index, Q4 2026, Ownware (CC BY 4.0), ownware.io/rent-index.
