Our take
Gainsight is the enterprise default — but the price-performance ratio fell sharply in 2024-2026 as Vitally + Catalyst + Planhat caught up at 1/3 the cost. Only justifiable now if you're a Series D+ enterprise with complex playbooks and dedicated CS Ops. Series A-C teams: try Vitally first.
Who it's for: Series D+ enterprise SaaS with 20+ CSMs and dedicated CS Ops team.
Pricing
