“We were using Spendesk but it wasn’t great because we couldn’t see who owned each subscription or who was using it. It could only track
some software spend. Cledara changed how we managed software and made life a lot easier.”

“I love having the ability to give control to other department leads. It empowers them and takes so much off our plate. I know it’s secure and we can still control the spend.”
Medina Mammadova, Seatfrog
“Cledara immediately surfaced 15% more subscriptions we hadn't heard of and automatically linked them to our account so that I could look for the owner, understand the costs, and reach out to the provider to renegotiate.”
Nathan Humphreys, Jiminny

Now you can have full control over your biggest expenses
Spend management tools like Spendesk are great for daily expenses, but they only manage a small percent of your spending and don't have the tools you need to control spend across Software, Cloud and Advertising.
See where you’re overspending and painlessly reduce spend
Cledara highlights opportunities to reduce spend on tools with low usage, and overlapping features.

SaaS management is the process of managing the software tools and expenses in a company.
It’s a relatively new term, born out of the rise of SaaS solutions. With new tools emerging daily and tech stacks growing out of control, companies are now seeing software as their second highest expense behind payroll and it comes with significant administrative overheads for Finance and IT teams managing the purchasing, payments and access.
