"SpendHound: Essential for Cost Control, Excellent Support"
5/5
What do you like best about SpendHound?

I find SpendHound really helpful for tracking all different applications we use and seeing how much we're spending on them. It's great that it can cross-reference if we're using any redundant apps, allowing us to eliminate those and save some money. I actually like their team a lot. Working with Ross and his team is enjoyable because they're really on top of things, providing advice on apps we can use or get rid of. I love the platform itself and I really enjoy working with their team. The biggest feature I value is the ability to see what we're spending money on, which helps us break everything down and save money. Setting up SpendHound was very easy, and their team is amazing.

"Easy License Tracking Consolidation with Helpful Renewal Notifications"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SpendHound?

It was able to consolidate and organize a disjointed process of tracking software licenses and arrangements. It also was easy to implement and provides notification, prior to renewal dates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpendHound?

It was a bit more cumbersome than I had hoped in loading the initial data into the system from our current system tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All SaaS Spend and Contracts in One View, Backed by Benchmarking and Expert Analysis"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SpendHound?

All SaaS spend and contracts in a single view, and access to benchmarking data and an actual analysis team to help provide a strategy for optimizing renewals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpendHound?

If contracts are not loaded, SpendHound will try to guess contract terms based on invoices or transaction spend. Sometimes their takeaways might not be accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential for Budget Tracking and Renewal Alerts"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SpendHound?

I find the notification alerts for upcoming renewals very helpful, as they prevent us from missing important dates and avoid unexpected auto-renewals. The budget tracking feature is incredibly useful for seeing where we've overspent compared to the contract value and catching variances. SpendHound reduces manual work by providing more insight into our cash outflow, helping us to make better budgeting decisions. I also appreciate how easy it was to set up, as I could send over our contracts and budget tracker for the team to upload with no hassle. It's been very beneficial for our budget tracking needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpendHound?

I would say, if SpendHound could update our current sheets manually or we could have our sheet read directly from SpendHound to update that would be great. We use spreadsheets for all forecasting and budget tracking as we don't have an FP&A tool. The software obviously impacts the cash flow, so it must read from this sheet. It would be great to live-push this information of spend into a spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Real-World Spend Data That Strengthens Our Software Negotiations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SpendHound?

Spendhound has been great for getting real data on what other customers are actually spending on their software contracts, and it’s helped us negotiate better pricing. It’s one thing to do a quick search to guess what something should cost, but it’s another thing entirely to have recent, real-life data points you can reference when you’re in the middle of negotiations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpendHound?

Sometimes there are only one or two data points available. It’s much more helpful when there are five or ten (or more), because that gives you a clearer sense of the pricing range and how willing the vendor is to come down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One Visibility and Benchmarking That Streamlines Renewals and Vendor Management"
5/5
What do you like best about SpendHound?

aving everything in one place gives us better visibility and control, and the benchmarking insights help ensure we’re paying fair market rates. It’s streamlined how we track renewals, manage vendors, and make more informed decisions about our software investments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpendHound?

The main gap we’ve encountered is with benchmarking data for smaller or industry-specific tools. In those cases, there isn’t always enough market data available through the platform to draw strong comparisons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SpendHound Delivered $60K in First-Year Savings with Effortless Implementation"
5/5
What do you like best about SpendHound?

What I like best about SpendHound is that it almost felt too good to be true — there was no cost to us, and the software actually helped us save real money. In our first year using it, we saved over $60,000 in actual, realized savings — not theoretical or “paper” reductions. As a small team, we were concerned that implementation would pull valuable resources away from other priorities, but the SpendHound team handled much of the heavy lifting for us. They were proactive in configuring features that delivered immediate value to our workflow. It’s a great group of people behind an excellent product that truly delivers measurable results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpendHound?

Did I mention we saved $60K within the first year, and that most of the implementation was handled for us? There’s honestly nothing about SpendHound that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Spend Management with Great Usability"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SpendHound?

I think SpendHound is pretty intuitive for all team members to use. It allows us to easily grant access to different team members and assign particular software or vendors to them. It also acts as a central place for us to store relevant documents, which makes it easy to refer to key terms and whatnot. I also really appreciate the renewal notifications as that has helped us get ahead of renewal negotiations with particular vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpendHound?

I found the negotiation service to not really deliver results. The benchmarking is valuable and helps us understand where we stand in terms of what we're paying versus the market, but so far, we haven't actually seen real results come from the negotiation service. That might just be because we haven't had many opportunities to really test it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
