WHY OUR API

Built for Enterprise-Grade Integration

Real Deal Data, Not Scraped Estimates

Every data point behind our API comes from a real, closed contract — not scraped list prices or analyst estimates. When you query Oracle Database benchmark data, you're getting the median of 143 closed deals, not a model output.

Freshness Guarantee: Updated Within 30 Days

Enterprise software pricing changes fast. We guarantee benchmark data is refreshed at least every 30 days, with high-velocity vendors (Oracle, Microsoft, AWS) updated weekly. No stale data serving as your negotiation baseline.

Negotiation Context, Not Just Price Points

Our API returns negotiation flags alongside price data — active discount windows, audit risk indicators, EOL timelines, and recommended deal structures. Your procurement team gets context, not just a number.

SOC 2 Type II Infrastructure End-to-End

Our API infrastructure is covered under our SOC 2 Type II certification. All API calls are encrypted in transit and at rest. Access tokens are time-limited and scoped. We never store the contracts you submit through /compare.
