Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Renewly and Spendflo?
Different products for different problems. Spendflo is a managed procurement service - their team sources vendors, negotiates renewals, and runs the buying workflow for you. Renewly is a self-serve renewal-tracking tool - you upload contracts, it extracts the renewal dates, auto-renewal clauses, and notice periods, and your team manages the renewals themselves. Choose Spendflo if you want to outsource SaaS buying. Choose Renewly if you want full visibility and direct control over all your vendor renewals from $149/month.
Is Spendflo worth it compared to Renewly?
Spendflo's pricing is not public, but reported deals are in the low five figures and up. That makes sense for companies with $250K+ in annual SaaS spend where 15-30% negotiation savings cover the fee. For teams under that threshold, or for teams with significant non-SaaS vendor contracts, Renewly from $149/month delivers the same renewal-tracking visibility without the managed-service overhead.
Can I use Renewly and Spendflo together?
Yes. Some teams use Spendflo for their largest SaaS deals (where managed negotiation pays for itself) and Renewly for everything else - smaller subscriptions, services contracts, leases, and renewals they prefer to handle in-house. Renewly tracks all contract types, not just SaaS, so it covers gaps Spendflo wasn't built for.
Does Renewly negotiate renewals like Spendflo does?
No. Renewly does not negotiate on your behalf. It tracks renewal dates, detects auto-renewal clauses, monitors notice periods, and sends alerts so your team has full visibility before each renewal window opens. The negotiation itself stays with your team, but you walk into each renewal prepared.
Which is better for a finance lead at a 200-person company?
It depends on your contract mix. If most of your spend is SaaS and you want a buying team to handle sourcing and renewals, Spendflo can pay for itself. If you have a mix of SaaS, services, and other vendor contracts and you want centralised renewal tracking that anyone on your team can use, Renewly from $149/month is a fraction of the cost and covers everything in one place.
The Bottom Line
