Pricing is pretty high. We'd like to get more sessions but it's too much $$$.

Sometimes it seems like we're missing sessions even before we've passed our quota.

Implementation and onboarding fees

medium implementation

FullStory charges separately for implementation services. Vendr data shows buyers negotiating 'significant discount off implementation' costs, indicating these fees are substantial and separate from the platform license.

We secured a decent discount off enterprise package and significant discount off implementation by being willing to sign ahead of the end of the quarter.

3

Annual price escalation (7% uplift)

high support

FullStory standard contracts include a 7% annual price increase at renewal. While this can be negotiated down or waived, it's positioned as standard. Buyers who don't actively negotiate face automatic year-over-year cost increases.

Reps will push 7% uplift but you can get it waived at renewal by leveraging budget constraints.

Replay retention premium vs analytics retention

medium addon

Replay retention (storing session recordings) costs significantly more than analytics retention. According to sales reps, 'replay retention has a higher impact on pricing than analytics retention,' meaning businesses that want to keep recordings long-term pay substantially more.

5

Annual allocation premium

low addon

FullStory charges a premium for annual session allocations versus monthly allocations. While annual gives more flexibility, the pricing model makes it more expensive. Vendr notes 'Annual allocation comes at a premium due to how they pay for allocations internally.'

Annual allocation comes at a premium due to how they pay for allocations internally. You get more usage flexibility on this model but you may find greater cost savings on a monthly allocation model.
