Product Owner Insight
Most B2B SaaS pricing pages show monthly price only. Below, we expose the 3-year TCO with escalation — something the real vendor hides in contract fine print. Customers discover the true cost only at renewal. This is the biggest source of churn.

Opaque Subscription Escalation
Contracts include 8-10% annual price escalation clauses buried in terms. A $14K/month plan becomes $18.6K by year 3 — a 33% increase customers don't expect.
