Overview

Customer experience technology and CX SaaS businesses typically trade at 4×–8× EBITDA. Recurring SaaS revenue from enterprise clients, integration with CRM and contact centre workflows, and AI-driven personalisation capability support strong valuations. High switching costs once embedded in customer journey management are a key moat. Competition from large CRM vendors expanding CX capability is the primary risk factor.
