# SpendHound

> SpendHound is a SaaS spend management platform that gives finance, procurement, and IT teams full visibility into their software spend, pricing benchmarks across 10,000+ AI and SaaS vendors sourced from 1,000+ contributing companies, and on-demand access to procurement experts — so they can negotiate better deals, track renewals, and eliminate wasted spend.
>
> The platform is free for companies with fewer than 1,000 employees. Enterprise plans (1,000+ employees) cost $10,000 per year and come with a $150,000 savings guarantee. This is a give-to-get model: companies contribute de-identified spend data and receive access to benchmark data, renewal tracking, vendor intelligence, and negotiation support in return.
>
> SpendHound is a subsidiary of YipitData, backed by Carlyle (NASDAQ: CG) and Norwest Venture Partners. It has 1,000+ active customers and has helped teams manage over $3.2 billion in software spend, generating $35.8 million in total savings. Trusted by ZoomInfo, Datavant, CLEAR, Kyruus Health, Benepass, Leap, and others. G2 Leader in SaaS Spend Management, rated 4.8/5.
>
> SpendHound competes with Vendr, Tropic, Zylo, Productiv, Vertice, and Spendflo — all of which charge significantly more. SpendHound's primary differentiators are: pricing transparency (free for SMB, flat $10K for Enterprise), product-level benchmark data quality (not just transaction totals), unlimited included procurement expert support, and fast setup (average 8-minute integration time).
