Built for the people who buy

Vendor sales teams already pay for procurement intelligence. IT directors, clerks and finance officers usually get a quote and a “standard pricing” line. What Towns Pay flips that: free price benchmarks for buyers, pulled straight from public records.

  • Real prices, not list prices. Annual fees, setup costs, escalators and term lengths as approved.
  • Sourced. Every record links to the agenda packet, staff report or contract.
  • Not for sale. Vendors cannot pay to remove or change price data.

Example: Pearland, TX’s 2025 Microsoft agreement lists M365 Copilot GCC at $364.50/user/yr and M365 G3 GCC at $384.91/user/yr. Truckee, CA’s Cloudpermit quote shows a 4% annual step-up. Small numbers like these add up at renewal time.
