                      Earlier this week we hosted a live panel discussion comparing product-led with customer-led growth, and what both motions look like in reality. The panel explained what external and internal factors impact which model is right for your company, and when a hybrid approach makes the most sense.

                      Data from Vertice shows that while there has been more spent on SaaS products in Q1 2024 compared to Q4, most has been focussed on renewing existing tech stacks rather than adding new tools. While 2023 was the year of belt-tightening, it looks like 2024 will be the year of tech stack consolidation.

                     SaaS inflation is dropping
                    </b>
                    . Lower inflation will eventually make prices more competitive, putting customers in a more advantageous buying position.

                    </b>
                    The majority of SaaS vendors, across multiple sectors, are still increasing their prices (though by smaller margins than before).

                     Instead, look at your renewals for the short term.
                    </b>
                    Vendors are maximizing returns by increasing prices. They will not want to lose current customers either, and this offers big discount opportunities when renewing.
