Share a Deal — Contribute to CostBench's Buyer Benchmarks

Anonymous to the public, verified by us. Your identity is verified so the data is trustworthy. Nothing that identifies you or your employer is ever shown publicly.

Only ever shown in aggregate. Your deal appears as part of a benchmark on the product's page once we have five or more submissions for that product — never on its own.

Deletable on request, anytime. Email us and we'll remove your submission from the aggregate.

What contributors get Free

Aggregated buyer benchmarks

Once a product has five or more submissions, its page shows median annual cost, typical discount, contract length, and auto-renewal prevalence — free for everyone, contributors included.
Optional verified-contributor credit

If you want recognition, just reply to the confirmation email with a first name and role (e.g. "Priya, Head of Procurement") and we'll list you on our contributors wall. No company, no last name. Silent submissions are the default.
Monthly pricing-changes digest

One short email per month listing which of the products you follow have had pricing updates. Unsubscribe in one click.
No gift cards, no catch

We don't pay cash or gift cards for submissions. The value is a shared dataset procurement teams can actually trust — not an incentivized review farm.

Anonymity & Privacy How we handle your data

What we never publish

Your name, your email, your employer, your job title, and any text you include that could identify you or your company. Published benchmarks show only job category and industry signals (echoing G2's anonymous-review model). Your contract details are never displayed on their own — only as part of an aggregate with at least four other submissions.

When your data appears in aggregates

A product's buyer-benchmark card is only shown on its page once we have five or more approved submissions for that product. Below that threshold, nothing is published — your submission sits in the pending pool until we reach critical mass. We also disclose the sample size (n=) and the date range of submissions every time a benchmark is shown, the same way Vendr discloses its price-estimate sample size.

Verified anonymity (not actually anonymous to us)

Like G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius, we verify every contributor behind the scenes so the data is trustworthy — we hash your email for deduplication and your IP for abuse detection. But none of that is ever shared publicly or with the vendor being reviewed. Verification happens in our back office only.

Deletion on request

Email privacy@costbench.com with the confirmation email we sent you and we'll remove your submission from the aggregate. If removing your submission drops the sample below n=5, the product's benchmark card is hidden until new submissions refill it.

What if I'm under NDA?

Many enterprise NDAs allow disclosure of your pricing in aggregated, anonymized form. But you're the only person who can read your contract — if you're unsure, don't submit.

What we do not do

We do not offer gift cards, cash, or other paid incentives in exchange for submissions. We do not sell, share, or pass contributor data to vendors. We do not label any submission as "featured" based on size of company or deal value.
