What Is a SaaS Company Worth in 2026?

Published by ProCloser Research · Reviewed by Aaron Whittaker, Founder Published September 10, 2026 | Updated October 12, 2026 Deal data as of October 12, 2026

What changed in October 2026: added a new FAQ on cross-border deal share and refreshed the tracked deal counts from the ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index.

The data answer

The ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index tracked 438 SaaS acquisitions announced in 2026, each documented to a public source. 44 disclosed a price; the median disclosed value is $134M. That median describes the visible top of the market, because disclosure skews toward large transactions. What your company is worth depends on the drivers below, and the honest way to estimate it is against real comparable deals plus your own numbers in the valuation calculator.

SaaS valuations turn on revenue quality before anything else. Buyers underwrite net revenue retention, gross margin and the durability of the subscription base, then apply a multiple that moves sharply with growth. A company growing 40% with 110% retention and one growing 10% with churn problems can share the same ARR and sell for very different numbers.

How to get a real estimate

Three steps beat any rule of thumb. First, run your revenue, EBITDA and sector through the ProCloser valuation calculator for an indicative range. Second, look at actual comparable transactions in the deal index rather than survey multiples. Third, remember that the spread between a bilateral offer and a competitive process is usually larger than the spread between valuation methods; our advisor rankings cover who runs those processes for companies like yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average sale price of a SaaS company in 2026?

Across 438 tracked 2026 SaaS acquisitions in the ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index, 44 disclosed a price, with a median disclosed value of $134M. Treat that number carefully: companies that disclose skew large and public. Most founder-scale deals never publish a price, so the true market median sits well below the disclosed one.

Who buys SaaS companies?

In tracked 2026 transactions, strategic acquirers accounted for roughly 77% of SaaS deals with an identified buyer type, with private equity taking most of the rest. 119 of the 438 tracked deals crossed a border, so a well-run process usually includes foreign buyers.

Which SaaS acquisitions had the highest disclosed price in 2026?

In the ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index, the largest disclosed SaaS prices through Oct 12, 2026 were PTC, bought by Schneider Electric for $22.60B; TeamSystem, bought by Francisco Partners and KKR for $10.43B; OneStream, bought by Hg for $6.40B. 44 of 438 tracked SaaS deals (10%) disclosed any price, so these describe the top of the market, not a typical sale.

Why do disclosed deal values overstate what typical companies sell for?

Because disclosure is selective. Press releases publish prices when a public company, large sponsor or regulator requires it, which concentrates disclosure among the biggest transactions. Founder-scale deals routinely close without a published number. Any median built on disclosed values describes the visible top of the market, not the middle.

How many 2026 SaaS deals crossed a border?

119 of the 438 tracked 2026 SaaS acquisitions involved a buyer or seller headquartered in a different country, 27% of the tracked set. A cross-border share that high means a seller who limits outreach to domestic buyers is skipping a meaningful slice of the realistic buyer pool.
