A focused, single-workflow product is easier to evaluate and easier to replace — which makes the export format, the notice window and the switching cost the terms worth settling before signature rather than after.
Model the full term
Include implementation, hardware, usage, media, data, integrations, annual increases and offboarding assistance in the total cost. Two providers with the same monthly price routinely differ once those are counted.

Connection scopeWhere data movement is involved, get direction, objects, refresh interval, the owning party and the fee in writing from both sides. A partner logo is not a scope statement.
Commercial structureModel the full term: implementation, integration fees charged by other systems, usage or transaction charges, the annual increase, the renewal mechanic and the cost of leaving. Two providers with the same monthly price routinely differ once those are included.
ExitAgree the export format, timing, cost and deletion proof before signature. Offboarding terms are inexpensive to negotiate up front and expensive to request afterwards.
