Planhat vs Vitally
Neither vendor publishes pricing, so this page starts with what procurement data shows they actually cost, then the part that decides it: how each one builds its quote, how long it takes to deliver value, and the team each is built for.
Quick answer
Planhat prices per customer account with unlimited seats; Vitally prices per seat with a reported Starter tier of $1,500 to $2,000 a month. Vendr's observed medians are $41,255 a year for Planhat and $35,000 for Vitally. Vitally is the faster, lighter platform; Planhat is the one that can hold a complicated book. Onboarding is reported at $2,000 to $10,000 for Vitally against 15% to 40% of the licence for Planhat.

| How the quote is built | Per customer account with unlimited internal users. Vendr's bands step at 500 and 2,000 accounts, and modules such as the AI Platform are quoted on top. | Per seat on tiered plans. The reported Starter tier is $1,500 to $2,000 a month billed annually, Growth $3,000 to $5,000+, with extra seats at $50 to $150+ per user per month. |
| Implementation and rollout | Reported at 15% to 40% of the licence in year one, on a quote-based rollout | Onboarding reported at $2,000 to $10,000 one-off, on a quote-based rollout |
| Built for | High-touch teams on a concentrated book, or businesses whose data model is too structured for a simpler tool to hold | Product-led and collaborative CS teams that live in docs, projects and shared workspaces with the customer |
What actually separates them
Feature lists on these two overlap almost entirely. These are the differences that change the number on your quote and the year you have after signing.
Structure against speed. Planhat exists for books that a simpler model would flatten: multiple products, entities, shared ownership. Vitally exists for teams that want a usage-driven health score and a collaborative workspace running this month without a modelling phase.
Seats. Vitally's per-seat pricing climbs with users and viewers, and reviewers on Capterra and Software Advice say so. Planhat's unlimited seats make it the cheaper option for a large team on a modest book, and the more expensive one for a lean team on a long tail.
Onboarding cost. Vitally's is a one-off fee; Planhat's is a percentage of the licence and a person's time. The gap is the data model, and it is real work rather than a vendor markup.

The call
Pick Planhat if
Your customer structure is complex, your CS team is large relative to the book, and you have someone who will own building and maintaining the data model.
Pick Vitally if
Your team is product-led, small, and wants shared docs, projects and usage-based scoring adopted by CSMs without a build phase.

| Cost component | Reported | Source | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Observed contracts, median and typical band | $41,255 median · most $15,000 - $60,000 | Vendrchecked 2026-09-14 | Across 35 observed purchases, 14 handled by Vendr. The majority land between $25,000 and $45,000, and Vendr reports the best-negotiated deals sitting 15% to 25% below Planhat's first quote. |
| Full observed range | $19,866 - $118,800 | GainTrace (Aug 2026)checked 2026-09-14 | Same 35 verified purchases and the same $41,255 median. The top of the range is an enterprise deployment with the AI Platform and Advanced Portals modules on. |
| By tier, annual | Start-Up $15,000 - $30,000 · Professional $30,000 - $50,000 · Enterprise $50,000 - $100,000+ | Vendrchecked 2026-09-14 | Bands by customer-account volume: under 500, 500 to 2,000, and 2,000 or more. Planhat prices per customer account rather than per seat, so internal users are unlimited on every tier. |
| Entry tiers, monthly equivalent | ~$1,150 / mo Start-Up · ~$1,750 / mo Professional | getcor.ai (Jun 2026)checked 2026-09-14 | Billed annually, which is roughly $13,800 and $21,000 a year, and cited by the reviewer to Vendr. Modules (AI Platform, Advanced Portals, Email Marketing) are quoted on top. |
| Services and implementation | 15% - 40% of the licence | GainTrace (Aug 2026)checked 2026-09-14 | GainTrace's year-one budget on the median is $49,000 to $62,000 once services are added, with a 3% to 7% annual increase after that. |
| Entry point | From ~$1,500, ~$25,000 for 20 users | Custify (Jun 2026)checked 2026-08-18 | Competitor-published estimate, so read it with that in mind, but it is consistent with the Vendr floor. |
These vendors have not confirmed any of these figures and most publish no rates at all. Treat them as the reported market range for planning and negotiation, not as a quote. Your own number will depend on seat count, module scope, contract length, and how hard your procurement team pushes.

Exeechain is not Planhat and not Vitally. It scores every account daily, names the drivers, drafts the save from the customer's own history and sends it under your approval, and it does that without a programme build. If your operating model needs the depth either vendor sells and someone will own it, they earn their price. If the retention work needs to start this week, the free tier runs the whole product on a sample book so you can judge it before anyone quotes you.

Questions
On observed contracts, Planhat's median is $41,255 a year (35 purchases on Vendr and GainTrace) and Vitally's is $35,000 (81 purchases on Vendr). The unit matters more than the median. Planhat: Per customer account with unlimited internal users. Vendr's bands step at 500 and 2,000 accounts, and modules such as the AI Platform are quoted on top. Vitally: Per seat on tiered plans. The reported Starter tier is $1,500 to $2,000 a month billed annually, Growth $3,000 to $5,000+, with extra seats at $50 to $150+ per user per month. Price both on your own seat count and account count before comparing the medians.
Planhat: Reported at 15% to 40% of the licence in year one, on a quote-based rollout. Vitally: Onboarding reported at $2,000 to $10,000 one-off, on a quote-based rollout. Neither vendor publishes these; they are what procurement datasets and buyers report, and your own rollout depends on how much of your programme has to be built before the team uses it.
High-touch teams on a concentrated book, or businesses whose data model is too structured for a simpler tool to hold. The most flexible data model in the category: multi-product, multi-entity books that other tools force you to flatten.
Product-led and collaborative CS teams that live in docs, projects and shared workspaces with the customer. Usage-first health scoring with a modern, fast interface that CSMs adopt without a training programme.
Your customer structure is complex, your CS team is large relative to the book, and you have someone who will own building and maintaining the data model.
Your team is product-led, small, and wants shared docs, projects and usage-based scoring adopted by CSMs without a build phase.
