SaaS inflation rate
As of September 2025, SaaS prices are up by an average of 12.3% year-on-year
For a business that spent $1,000,000 on software in 2024, this translates to an additional $123,000 for the exact same tech stack – with no added features, seats, capabilities, or services.
After peaking at 14% in May 2025, SaaS inflation eased slightly in July and August, settling at 12.3% in September. While this suggests a temporary slowdown in price growth, SaaS inflation remains elevated compared to early 2025 levels and continues to outpace the US annual CPI of 2.9% by roughly 4x.
