Gainsight is the default pick for large teams that run formal quarterly business reviews, because it ties health scorecards, success plans, and renewal forecasting to the review, while Gamma is the default pick when the job is only to turn review notes into a deck. Six of the eight tools do not publish a price, so get a written quote that names the user count, the customer count, and the term. Totango renamed itself Odie in September 2026, so older Totango guides and login links now sit under a new brand name, and existing customers keep their current contract and pricing.
A quarterly business review is a meeting where a vendor and a customer look at what was agreed, what was delivered, what the usage shows, and what happens next. The software that supports it has two jobs: gather the account evidence, and present it in a form an executive can read in ten minutes. The first seven tools below gather the evidence. The last one builds the deck.

The 8 best best quarterly business review software tools, in detail
Gainsight
Best for: Large teams running formal QBRs
Gainsight is the established customer success platform for structured quarterly business reviews. Its pricing page lists two Customer Success packages, Essentials and Enterprise, with no dollar figure on either. Essentials includes 10 full users and 100 customers per included full user, while Enterprise includes 20 full users and 200 customers per included full user, and both include unlimited viewer licenses.
- A team with 2,000 managed accounts needs 20 full users on Essentials to cover the book.
- Both packages include health scorecards, playbooks and success plans, dashboards, and surveys.
- Enterprise adds company news, renewal and expansion forecasting, and organisational mapping, so the pre-read, the success plan, and the renewal foreca
- Choose Gainsight when the review is a formal, recurring process with a renewal date.
Pros
- Health scorecards, success plans, and playbooks in one platform
Cons
- No published price, so every deal needs a written quote
Totango
Best for: Revenue and CS teams running recurring executive reviews
Totango is now sold under the name Odie, after the company behind Totango renamed itself in September 2026. The old Totango free plan is no longer listed, and the pricing page routes buyers to a demo request with no published price or plan table. Existing customers keep their current contract and pricing, according to the rebrand letter.
- Totango merged with Catalyst in February 2024, so Catalyst now appears as a product line inside the same company.
- Account tiering and health scoring decide which accounts enter a review workflow and what follow-up actions get created, and pre-built success program
- That structure helps a team run the same review cadence across a large book without rebuilding the agenda for every account.
- Choose Totango when health signals and account tiers should drive the review list.
Pros
- Account tiering and health scoring that set which accounts enter a review cycle
Cons
- No published price and no free plan on the current pricing page
Planhat
Best for: Mid-market and large teams standardising account data
Planhat brings product, CRM, support, finance, and contract data together into one account model, and that shared model powers its health scores, playbooks, and renewal work. The pricing page explains that the price combines a Platform Fee and a minimum number of Core Users, with extra charges for additional Core Users and for Solution Extensions. No dollar figure is published, so the quote has to name the platform fee, the Core User count, and any extensions before two quotes can be compared.
- All plans include unlimited View Users, and all plans are billed in US dollars by default, annually upfront.
- A Core User has full edit access, while a View User has full view access, so executives and product colleagues can read the account without taking a C
- All plans include a dedicated Customer Success Manager where a minimum annual spend applies.
- Choose Planhat when the review needs one agreed set of account definitions across sales, support, and finance.
Pros
- Product, CRM, support, finance, and contract data in one account model
Cons
- No published price, and pricing combines a Platform Fee with a minimum number of Core Users
ChurnZero
Best for: Teams that want health scores and in-app engagement in one place
ChurnZero does not publish a price. Its public pricing page asks buyers to request a demo, and no numeric platform price or free plan is shown there. The platform is sold in three tiers, Essentials, Growth, and Enterprise, priced mainly by the number of customer accounts, so the account count in the quote matters more than the seat count.
- That account-based model suits a team with many small accounts, and it suits a team with a few large accounts less well, where the work per account is
- The platform combines dynamic health and relationship scores with forecasting, reporting, and trend tracking, and it adds in-app engagement so a team
- For a quarterly business review, the one-slide value review format organises the conversation around outcomes, proof, risks, and next steps.
- ChurnZero also sells a separate Services Suite in Silver, Gold, and Platinum packages, with 8, 16, and 32 service hours per month, on annual terms.
Pros
- Real-time health and relationship scores with forecasting and trend tracking
Cons
- No published price and no free plan on the pricing page
Vitally
Best for: Product-led teams that want shared customer workspaces
Vitally names three plans, Tech-Touch, Hybrid-Touch, and High-Touch, and all three are priced on request with no numeric price on the pricing page. Tech-Touch is designed for one-to-many and product-led customer success, Hybrid-Touch covers any customer success model with a mix of scaled and named-account work, and High-Touch is designed for one-to-one coverage of named accounts. The pricing page does not state a customer allowance, so the quote has to define the mix of scaled and named accounts before the total can be judged.
- The page offers a trial sandbox with the buyer own customer data and team, but only after a demo request, and it does not offer a permanent free plan.
- Unlimited observer seats and automations are stated as included, so executives and product managers can read the shared workspace without taking a ful
- Vitally Docs gives teams and customers shared workspaces powered by customer data, so the pre-read and the action list can sit in the same place.
Pros
- Shared customer workspaces beside account data, with unlimited observer seats
Cons
- No published price and no free plan, only a trial sandbox after a demo request
ClientSuccess
Best for: Small to mid-market teams that want a simpler CS platform
ClientSuccess lists three packages, Startup, Growth, and Enterprise, without figures on the pricing page. The Startup package is aimed at early-stage companies and caps managed customers at 500, Growth targets small and mid-market teams, and Enterprise adds more support. The pricing FAQ states that prices depend on the number of CSMs, the modules chosen, the contract length, and the integrations, with annual-contract discounts, so a quote that names only the package name is not enough to compare against another vendor.
- The product groups its work into insights and analytics, with a SuccessScore health view, weekly Pulse reporting, an NPS analyser, and engagement insi
- Features across the packages include a Client 360 dashboard, playbooks, health scoring, automations, customer goal tracking, and custom dashboards.
- Choose ClientSuccess when the team wants health, playbooks, and renewal forecasting without a large implementation.
Pros
- Health scoring, playbooks, and renewal forecasting in a simpler package
Cons
- No published price, and prices depend on the number of CSMs, modules, contract length, and integrations
Custify
Best for: B2B SaaS teams that want a 360-degree customer view
Custify is a customer success platform for B2B SaaS companies, and it does not publish pricing on its site. Sales run through demos and custom quotes. Third-party listings put the starting point around $899 per month for up to 3 seats, but that figure is an unconfirmed estimate from listings, not a vendor price, so this article records the starting price as quote only.
- The quote will scale with seats and account volume, so the buyer should ask for both numbers in writing.
- The platform builds a 360-degree view of each customer from CRM, support, billing, and product usage data, and it shows the relevant indicators and cl
- That view supports the quarterly business review because the CSM can walk into the meeting with usage, tickets, invoices, and health in the same place
- Health scores, lifecycle tracking, and playbook automation sit on top of that data.
Pros
- Customer 360 view that pulls in CRM, support, billing, and product usage data
Cons
- No published price on the site, and sales are demo-led with custom quotes
Gamma
Best for: Fast first drafts of a QBR deck
Gamma is a presentation tool, not a customer success platform, and that is its place in this list. The Plus plan costs $9 per seat per month billed annually, which is $108 per seat per year, and the Pro plan costs $18 per seat per month billed annually, which is $216 per seat per year. The free plan allows up to 10 slides per prompt, with export to PDF, PPTX, PNG, and Google Slides.
- Plus allows up to 100 slides per prompt, removes Gamma branding, and adds advanced AI image models.
- Pro adds premium AI image models, custom branding, detailed analytics, API access, and up to 10 custom domains.
- For a quarterly business review, Gamma is useful when the narrative is already prepared and the team needs a first draft fast.
- It turns a prompt or supplied source material into slides, documents, web pages, and images.
Pros
- Free plan with up to 10 slides per prompt and export to PDF, PPTX, PNG, and Google Slides
Cons
- The free plan credits do not refresh, so the free allowance runs out
How we chose
We chose tools that can support a real quarterly business review, either by gathering the account evidence or by building the review deck. A qualifying customer success platform had to offer health scoring, account or success plans, and a way to track actions and renewals. A qualifying deck tool had to offer templates, brand controls, and export to a format an executive can open. We did not test any tool hands-on. Prices and plan limits come from official vendor pricing pages opened on 2026-11-12. Where a vendor published no price, we wrote quote only. The Totango rebrand to Odie in September 2026 is the unique fact that changes how older guides should be read.
Which tool fits your team size and budget
| Team and budget | Pick | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 CSMs, under $20 per seat per month | Gamma Plus | Publishes a price under $20, and builds a deck without a sales call |
| 3 to 10 CSMs, 500 to 2,000 accounts | ClientSuccess, Vitally, Custify | Mid-market scope, with a 500-customer cap on ClientSuccess Startup to check first |
| 10 to 20 CSMs, formal reviews and renewals | Gainsight Essentials, Planhat, ChurnZero | Health scores, success plans, and renewal forecasting sit in the same account record |
| 20 or more CSMs, enterprise accounts | Gainsight Enterprise, Planhat | Enterprise adds forecasting, organisational mapping, and a dedicated manager where the spend qualifies |
| Deck only, data already in a CRM | Gamma | Fast drafts and on-brand layouts, with no account data of its own |
Frequently asked questions
How much does quarterly business review software cost?
Most customer success platforms in this list do not publish a price, so the cost is a written quote based on users, accounts, and term. Gamma does publish prices: Plus is $9 per seat per month billed annually and Pro is $18 per seat per month billed annually. Budget for onboarding and services on top of the subscription, because Planhat bills annually upfront and ChurnZero sells services in annual packages.
Which is best for a small team running its first QBRs?
Gamma is the best first step when the team only needs a deck, because the free plan allows up to 10 slides per prompt and Plus is $9 per seat per month billed annually. ClientSuccess is the best first customer success platform for a small team, because it is simpler than Gainsight, but check the 500-customer cap on Startup before you commit to a year.
Which is best for enterprise teams with formal reviews?
Gainsight is the best pick for enterprise teams with formal reviews, because Essentials and Enterprise tie health scorecards, success plans, and playbooks to the account, and Enterprise adds renewal forecasting and organisational mapping. Planhat is the closest alternative when the review needs one shared account model across product, CRM, support, finance, and contract data.
Do I need a customer success platform or just a deck tool?
You need a customer success platform when health, usage, and renewal dates drive the meeting, because a deck tool cannot tell you which accounts are at risk. You need only a deck tool when the account data already lives in a CRM or a customer success platform and the bottleneck is turning notes into slides.
What happened to Totango?
Totango renamed itself Odie in September 2026, and the Totango free plan is no longer listed on the pricing page. Totango merged with Catalyst in February 2024, so Catalyst is now a product line inside the same company. Existing customers keep their current contract and pricing, and new buyers go through a demo request with no published price.
Can I run a QBR from a free plan?
Yes, for the deck only. Gamma has a free plan with up to 10 slides per prompt and export to PDF, PPTX, PNG, and Google Slides, so a small review can be built without a subscription. No customer success platform in this list offers a permanent free plan, and Vitally offers only a trial, so the account evidence still needs a subscription plan.
