Sastrify

Overview

Sastrify helps companies centralize, manage, and optimize their SaaS subscriptions. By analyzing software usage and leveraging pooled buying power, Sastrify negotiates better contracts and eliminates wasted spend on duplicate or underutilized tools, acting as an outsourced procurement team for scale-ups.

What it does

• Centralizes all SaaS subscriptions into one visibility dashboard.
• Discovers shadow IT and unused software licenses.
• Automates the renewal and vendor negotiation process.
• Provides benchmark data to ensure fair pricing on contracts.
• Integrates with accounting and SSO tools for real-time tracking.

Who it's for

• CFOs
• IT Managers
• Procurement teams
• Operations leaders

Why it works

• Guaranteed ROI: Sastrify often guarantees that they will save the company more money than the platform itself costs.
• Pooled Negotiating Power: Because they buy software for hundreds of companies, they secure bulk discounts a single startup never could.
• Time Saving: Completely removes the painful, months-long back-and-forth of enterprise vendor negotiations from the internal team.
• Visibility: Gives finance teams instant clarity into the infamous 'SaaS sprawl' problem.

Founder story

Founded in 2020 by Sven Lackinger and Maximilian Messing in Cologne, Germany. Having previously built and sold a mobility startup, they experienced first-hand how chaotic and expensive managing dozens of software subscriptions became as a company scaled. They launched Sastrify to bring transparency and collective bargaining power to B2B software procurement.

Comparison overview

• Vendr: The major US-based competitor that pioneered SaaS buying; Sastrify initially focused heavily on the European market before expanding globally.
• Tropic: Very similar procurement-as-a-service model, heavily focused on the startup ecosystem.
• Zylo: A strictly SaaS management platform (SMP) that focuses more on tracking and analytics rather than active, human-led contract negotiation.
• Sastrify distinguishes itself with deep localized knowledge in Europe and a hybrid approach of software analytics paired with expert human negotiators.
