Remove risky apps
Every app your team added without telling anyone is costing you - in money, risk, and control.
Employees sign up for tools on company cards every day. IT doesn't know. Finance doesn't know. The apps stay active, keep billing, and create security and compliance risks nobody can see. AppVentory's agents find every one of them, score the risk, and help you get control - automatically.

Why Unapproved apps are so hard to catch
The problem isn't that your team is careless. It's that the tools make it too easy to sign up and too easy to forget.
Employees sign up for tools on company cards without approval
Free trials become paid subscriptions. One-off tools become permanent fixtures. By the time anyone notices, the billing has been running for months.
IT and finance are working from different lists
IT knows what's in SSO. Finance knows what's on the card. But neither list matches the other - and the gap is where the risk lies.
Removing an app isn't as simple as cancelling it
Data is stored in it. People are using it. Removing it without knowing who depends on it creates its own problems. So nothing gets removed and the list keeps growing
How AppVentory's agents find and eliminate problematic apps
Problematic Apps Agent
Finds every app outside official channels. Scores the risk. Helps you act.
Scans your accounting data for unrecognised SaaS payments and cross-references every payment against your known app list. Anything not in SSO or formally approved gets flagged immediately - with risk level, number of users, and monthly cost attached. You decide what stays and what goes.
App Usage Insights
Know who's using what before you remove anything.
Tracks login activity and engagement per tool across your full stack - updated daily. So when a renewal approaches, you already know whether the tool is earning its seat. The decision becomes obvious.
App catalog & requests
Stop problematic apps before they start.
Give employees a structured channel to discover and request tools - so the next sign-up goes through a proper approval flow instead of a company card. Problematic app proliferation stops at the source.
Compliance agent
Flag the security and policy risks - not just the spend.
Proactively surfaces security gaps, policy violations, and non-compliant tools across your stack. Each flagged app comes with a risk score and a recommended action - so your IT and security teams know exactly what to prioritise.
Teams using AppVentory recover an average of 30-80% of their software spend in year one.
AppVentory gives us confidence and control over software spend. We can clearly see which apps are being used, what they cost, and where we’re wasting money.
