Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Renewly and Vendr?
Completely different approaches. Vendr is a service — they negotiate your SaaS renewals for you through a dedicated buying team. Renewly is a tool — it tracks all your vendor renewal dates, auto-renewal clauses, and notice periods so your team can manage renewals themselves. Choose Vendr if you want to outsource SaaS negotiation. Choose Renewly if you want visibility and control over all your vendor contracts.
Is Vendr worth the cost compared to Renewly?
Vendr charges $36K+/year and targets companies with large SaaS portfolios (50+ tools, $1M+ annual SaaS spend). If Vendr saves you 15-20% on renewals, that's real ROI at that scale. Renewly costs $99/month and gives you the renewal tracking and alerts to negotiate yourself. For teams with under $500K in annual vendor spend, Renewly delivers far better value.
Can I use both Renewly and Vendr together?
Yes. Some teams use Vendr for their largest SaaS renewals (where negotiation savings justify the cost) and Renewly for everything else — non-SaaS vendor contracts, smaller subscriptions, and contracts they prefer to manage in-house. Renewly tracks all contract types, not just SaaS.
Does Renewly negotiate contracts like Vendr does?
No. Renewly doesn't negotiate on your behalf. It tracks renewal dates, detects auto-renewal clauses, monitors notice periods, and sends alerts so you never miss a deadline. The negotiation is up to your team — but you'll go in prepared with full visibility into your contract terms.
Which is better for a mid-market company with 100-300 employees?
It depends on your SaaS spend and preference. If you spend $1M+/year on SaaS and want hands-off negotiation, Vendr can pay for itself. If you want to track all vendor contracts (not just SaaS) and keep control of relationships, Renewly at $99/month is a fraction of the cost. Most mid-market teams start with Renewly for visibility, then consider Vendr for their top-10 highest-spend renewals.
