Detection Approach

StackTidy

StackTidy connects to your work email and automatically catches every subscription - from the obvious ones like Slack and Notion to the forgotten trial you signed up for six months ago. No manual data entry, no spreadsheet imports. Your subscription radar is always on.

Zylo

Zylo relies on financial integrations, SSO data, and manual CSV uploads to build a picture of your software landscape. This works well for large enterprises with dedicated IT procurement teams, but it means subscriptions paid outside official channels - shadow IT - can slip through undetected.

Pricing Comparison

StackTidy

StackTidy starts free and scales with transparent, published pricing. Small teams can get full auto-detection and renewal alerts without ever entering a credit card. No sales calls, no custom quotes, no annual minimums.

Zylo

Zylo uses enterprise pricing that typically starts in the tens of thousands per year, with custom quotes based on company size and the number of integrations. The platform is designed for organizations where the cost is a rounding error on their overall SaaS spend.

Ease of Use

StackTidy

Connect your email, and StackTidy starts finding subscriptions within minutes. The interface is designed for founders and ops leads who want awareness without effort - not another dashboard to manage. Think of it as a brief that arrives when something needs your attention.

Zylo

Zylo is a full SaaS management platform with deep configuration options, role-based access, and workflow automation. Powerful, but it comes with a learning curve and typically requires a dedicated admin to manage. Implementation can take weeks or months.

Team Collaboration

StackTidy

StackTidy gives every team member visibility into shared subscriptions with simple invite-based access. AI-powered overlap detection flags redundant tools across the team so you can consolidate before the next renewal.

Zylo

Zylo offers sophisticated team and department-level views, license optimization, and workflow approvals for software procurement. These features shine at scale but add complexity that smaller teams rarely need.

You started a spreadsheet to track subscriptions. It was accurate for about a week. Then someone signed up for a new tool, someone else forgot to log a renewal, and now your "source of truth" is months out of date. Here is a better way.
