Detailed analysis

What each segment's stack actually looks like

By company size

The whole market, split into bands by employee count.

Size-band report: Upper Mid

A scaled-up mid-market stack

Corporate wellness and sales-commission tools are its most distinctive categories. The sales-compensation pattern it shares with the mid band runs stronger here.

Government, sales-performance management, and mentoring tools follow the two leaders. Nurse scheduling, learning-experience platforms, and configuration-management databases come just behind.

What vendors bill for

Billing per person and per device still leads here, but usage meters appear for the first time: envelopes and monthly active users. This is the thinnest price evidence on the site, 95 price points in all, and five of the seven units rest on fewer than a dozen. Prices are not comparable between rows, or with another band's page.

The bar is how many contracts sit behind that unit. The price beside it is the typical one we see for it. Prices are not comparable between rows.

Variety of software categories

Software variety narrowed about 10% over the period: from 496.3 distinct categories in 2023 to 447.1 in 2026 H1.

Each year's figure counts the distinct software categories in 1,000 review entries drawn at random, so years compare on equal footing.

Higher means more varied software across the group, not more tools per company.

“Tool integrations. Integrating directly with other visualization tools has been challenging and doesn't work smoothly from the get go.”
TrustRadius reviewer, 5001-10,000 employees (Atlassian Confluence, Collaboration)

“While there is an impressive list of third party integrations, some of the tools we use were not represented.”
