Number of Seats/Users: MarketSurge offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows MarketSurge that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from MarketSurge. MarketSurge reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: MarketSurge offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from MarketSurge. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: MarketSurge often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that MarketSurge delivers very strong value on core functionality, with a few clear areas where smart negotiation and packaging can make a big difference.

Main strengths our Spendbase clients highlight:

Key friction points and discount opportunities:

• Pricing sensitivity
• Some Spendbase clients feel the platform could be cheaper versus competitors
• SMS pricing is acceptable overall but considered high in some countries

• Good area to push for volume discounts or regional SMS rate adjustments

• Usability and learning curve

• Advanced features can be hard to learn for less technical teams

• UX improvements and guided setup are frequently desired

• Mobility and access

• Mobile app exists but is seen as limited for campaign and analytics access

• Managers want more on‑the‑go visibility into pipelines and performance

• Product gaps

• Email deliverability quirks (occasional spam issues)
• Desire for richer segmentation options
• Need for more third‑party integrations
• Requests for better notes tracking and clearer separation of business line vs. cellphone

From a Spendbase savings perspective, MarketSurge is a high-value tool when it replaces multiple point solutions. The best levers for extra discounts tend to be seat volume, SMS volume, and commitment length, especially for teams running multi‑channel campaigns at scale.
