💡 This Week's Negotiation Tactic

🎯

The Overlap Play: If you're getting hit by GitHub Copilot's price hike, screenshot your usage data from the last 90 days. Email your rep: "We're evaluating whether to move the team to Cursor Pro at $20/seat — it includes the same AI features. Can you match that price or lock us in at the current rate for 2 years?" This works in 40% of cases. Copy the exact email template →

📅 Coming Up: Renewals to Watch

Tools with known price increases effective in the next 30 days:

  • ⚠️ Notion AI — +35% on AI plans effective July 1
  • ⚠️ Airtable — Team plan +28% at renewal after June 15
  • ⚠️ Figma — Dev Mode now requires separate seat ($15/dev/mo)

📊 Stat of the Week

The average 10-person startup is paying $4,668 more per year on SaaS than they were in 2023 — across the same tools, with no new features added. That's $389/month in silent budget erosion. Run your free audit to see your exact number →
