Medallia costs about $20,000 to $600,000 a year
Medallia is customer feedback software. It collects surveys, reviews, calls and chats and turns them into reports. It does not publish prices. The range is wide because programs differ so much in size. One buyer data set puts smaller customers at an average of about $20,700 a year and enterprise customers at about $599,000. Another puts the median contract near $30,000. Setup adds about $50,000 to $200,000 or more on large programs.

| Modules | Text analytics and other tools cost extra. |

Know your volume
Medallia prices much of its product on a yearly pool of interactions, such as survey responses, calls, chats and reviews. If you underestimate that number, overage charges push the bill up. If you overestimate it, you pay for capacity you never use.
Pull a real count of last year's surveys, reviews and support contacts before the call. Ask how overages are billed and whether unused volume rolls over.
How the quote gets made
Medallia does not publish prices. A rep works out your size, what you need and how soon, then prices the deal to match. Discounts depend on timing and on whether you are talking to a rival. The numbers on this page are what buyers and analysts report paying, not a list price.
Pricing is per year, whole contract, so the main levers in the quote are the tier you pick and the setup fee, not the headcount.
How to judge the quote in your hand
- Ask how overages are billed and whether unused volume rolls over.
- Ask for the all in number: licence, setup, training and support for year one.
- Ask what renewal looks like in year two and three, in writing.
- Get a second quote from a rival and say so on the call.
- Buy at quarter end, when reps chase targets.
- Cut seats and modules you will not use in the first 90 days.
Ways to pay less
- Take automatic renewal out of the contract. Advisers suggest it.
- Pay yearly if the discount is real, not just a rounding of the monthly price.
- Start on the lowest tier and upgrade when you hit a wall.
- Ask for the setup fee to be waived or split over the year.
- Check the free trial or demo before you sign anything.
Before you decide
Medallia suits large companies running feedback programs across stores, call centers and apps. Smaller teams that mainly send surveys may get the same results from simpler tools for far less.
Ownership changed in 2026. Reports say control passed to its lenders early in the year, followed by a recapitalization in June led by Blackstone and Apollo. That is worth weighing before a long contract, and it may give you room to negotiate.
A last tip: get a Qualtrics quote too. The two compete for the same budgets, and buyers report that real quotes from both bring better prices from both.
From about $20,000 a year for small programs to about $600,000 on average for enterprises. About 6 to 12 months for a standard rollout. Programs differ hugely in how many surveys, calls and reviews they process. No. Every number here comes from buyer data. Related jobs people check next, with the usual 2026 price.Common questions
