ManageEngine SaaS Manager Plus vs Spendbase

ManageEngine SaaS Manager Plus helps organizations find SaaS applications, manage licenses and monitor subscription spending and renewals. Automated discovery scans an IT environment for applications, including those adopted outside normal procurement channels. A unified dashboard brings application, user, license and spending information together. The platform identifies underused licenses and overlapping subscriptions, and includes user provisioning, role-based access, activity monitoring, reports and access audit trails. Reports cover vendor spending, user statistics, spending sources, app use and user or application activity. Optical character recognition extracts license details from uploaded invoices. The help documentation lists 35 integrations, including Box, Google Workspace, Dropbox, Microsoft 365, Jira and Webex; accounting integrations include Zoho Books, QuickBooks and Zoho Expense. The web product has a free plan for up to two applications after the trial. Paid plans start at $250 a year for up to five applications, and a 30-day trial is listed. Larger listed tiers extend to 200 applications, with sales contact required above that limit.
