2021 SaaS Awards Announced – APPEALIE Honors The Very Best In Software

APPEALIE has announced the winners of the 2021 SaaS Awards and ChurnZero is honored to be recognized for the fifth year in a row.

41 SaaS apps were recognized for their demonstrated excellence and customer outcomes. Winning SaaS platforms included ChurnZero, Hopin, Intercom, CallRail, and Chargify. The ChurnZero team is also thrilled to see a number of customers selected as winners of the SaaS Customer Success Award, which is a true testament to the impact our platform can bring to CS teams at SaaS organizations.

“As software becomes more ubiquitous in our work and personal lives, the expectations of the users are continually growing. Our highly selective award honors customer-obsessed SaaS platforms that go above and beyond to deliver extraordinary experiences,” commented Arabella Solaybar of APPEALIE.

As an indicator of APPEALIE’s SaaS Award selectivity, the Overall SaaS Award winners averaged over 4.6 stars on the most popular software review platforms (G2, Capterra, and GetApp – all of which use a 5-star rating scale).

“We’re honored by this distinction of Best Overall SaaS, which is judged by user feedback and product innovation. As a customer-centric company, success is not only driven by customer delight, but also increased revenue and customer retention. Retention is the new driving force of a healthy SaaS business,” said You Mon Tsang, CEO and Founder of ChurnZero. “We are thankful for our customers and remain committed to their success.”
