Expendly
Centralized SaaS and AI spend visibility and governance platform for finance teams
About Expendly
Expendly provides a consolidated platform for CFOs and procurement leaders at mid-market companies to track, analyze, and optimize SaaS and AI tool spending. The tool connects to over 150 SaaS applications and AI models, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Copilot, and Google AI, to deliver real-time visibility into contracts, usage, and costs. It tracks adoption rates, identifies underused licenses, and flags shadow IT or AI subscriptions that lack approval or ownership. Expendly generates spend reports by department, vendor, and project, and offers recommendations to reduce costs by switching models or consolidating tools. The platform also monitors AI token usage, project budgets, and burn rates to prevent unexpected cost spikes. Users can set alerts for renewals, track invoices, and assign accountability for each tool. The dashboard visualizes key performance indicators, including total spend, at-risk contracts, and potential savings.
