Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Renewly and Sastrify?
Different products for different problems. Sastrify is a modular SaaS procurement service - their team works with you on benchmarks, vendor risk, and renewals through dedicated procurement experts at the higher tiers. Renewly is a self-serve renewal-tracking tool. Upload contracts, it extracts renewal dates, auto-renewal clauses, and notice periods, your team manages renewals directly. Sastrify starts at €12.5K/year. Renewly starts at $149/month. Different audiences.
Is Sastrify worth the price compared to Renewly?
Sastrify's pricing scales with the size of the procurement engagement. For European companies spending €250K+/yr on software where 15-35% negotiation savings cover the fee, the math works. For smaller teams, or for teams whose biggest pain is renewal visibility (not procurement), Renewly delivers the tracking layer from $149/month without the procurement-service overhead.
Can I use Renewly and Sastrify together?
Yes. Larger teams sometimes use Sastrify for their top SaaS deals where benchmark-backed negotiation pays for itself, and Renewly for everything else - smaller subscriptions, services contracts, leases, and any vendor where they want direct control. Renewly tracks all contract types, not just SaaS, so it covers gaps Sastrify wasn't built for.
Does Renewly negotiate renewals like Sastrify does?
No. Renewly does not negotiate on your behalf. It tracks renewal dates, detects auto-renewal clauses, monitors notice periods, and surfaces leverage signals (vendor M&A, layoffs) so your team has full context before each renewal window opens. The negotiation is yours, but you walk in prepared.
Which is better for an EU-based finance lead at a 150-person company?
It depends on SaaS spend. If you spend €250K+/yr on software and want a procurement expert in your corner, Sastrify can pay for itself. If you want centralised renewal tracking your finance and ops team can use without sales calls or onboarding weeks, Renewly from $149/month is a fraction of the cost and covers all your vendor contracts in one place.
