65 SaaS vendors ship MCP. 38 won't say which plan you need.

We checked 363 business-software vendors for a first-party MCP server. 65 have one. Of those, 38 state no plan or price for it anywhere in their own docs.

Every report is computed from our hand-researched corpus of 406 business tools and ships with the raw data (CC BY 4.0), so journalists and researchers can re-run the analysis instead of taking our word for it.

Report 01 — July 2026. SaaS Pricing Transparency Report 2026: the sticker price is the whole story for only 24% of 406 researched tools. Usage meters, per-seat scaling, hidden price lists and renewal jumps — quantified, with evidence.

AIBuilder Marketplace earns affiliate commissions on some tools it covers; this report flags partners and non-partners by exactly the same rules, and per the manifesto we may earn a commission from tools this research criticises — it never changes the numbers.
