    Additional DetailsSubstly utilizes a tiered pricing structure determined by feature requirements and total employee count. According to the vendor, the model is intended to provide cost predictability for small and mid-sized organizations. Pricing for the Monitor and Optimize editions is based on organization size, with costs scaling as the employee count increases. For enterprises with complex technical requirements—such as managing multiple Active Directory (AD) tenants, overseeing subsidiaries, or requiring custom API integrations—bespoke quotes are available via a Custom Plan. The platform maintains the following billing and operational policies: - Annual Subscription Discount: The developer offers a 20% reduction in cost for users who opt for annual billing over monthly cycles. - Operational Requirements: The system does not require setup fees or mandatory cancellation periods. - Currency Support: Transactions are supported in EUR, USD, GBP, AUD, CAD, and SEK.—

    For small and mid-sized corporations that wants a better overview without too much hassle in setting up a complex system, Substly is great! Also Substly has made budgeting easier for us and helped us improve our offboarding processes. If you are looking for a SaaS management tool with integrations to every vendor on earth, there might be other solutions that would fit your scope better.

    My experience with Vendr has overall been quite good; they are invested in making sure their companies get the best possible discount and I appreciate both the money and time save they provide for me. Be aware that, while they will support any software spend over $5K, there are certain products (like Notion and Slack) that, unless you are a much bigger company, they will not be able to secure you savings on. There are also the occasional company that will not work with Vendr, though this is the exception, not the rule.

    • I would love to have more access to the data insights they're using in terms of pricing benchmarks.
    • As we utilize a different software to manage workflow spend approval, it would be ideal if Vendr could expand their systems in that way.
    • Notes on contract preferences seem to be very manually maintained, which can result in occasional oversights.

    Vendr is very closely aligned feature wise with Tropic. The main separation between the two is that Tropic provides more workflow tools and pricing insights while Vendr has come in at a lower price point as compared to Vendr.
