What is AppVentory?
AppVentory connects to Xero, QuickBooks, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Okta to automatically discover every SaaS tool your business pays for. It shows you what's active, what's unused, which renewals are approaching, and where you're duplicating spend — then gives you AI-powered recommendations to cut waste. Purpose-built for SMBs and the accountants who advise them.
What is Vendr?
Vendr is a SaaS purchasing platform that negotiates software contracts on your behalf. By aggregating buying data from thousands of companies, Vendr claims to secure below-market pricing on new SaaS purchases. It is primarily a procurement service — not a SaaS management tool. It does not discover your existing stack, track usage, flag waste, or provide renewal alerts.
