On top of that inventory it reclaims unused seats, flags shadow IT and runs onboarding and offboarding across apps. Most products in this category are built for enterprises with a procurement team, so this comparison starts from a different question: which tool a small IT team can actually run, and which one fits the person who owns the problem in your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The market also moved a lot in 2026. BetterCloud, Zluri and Torii have new owners or signed deals, and Productiv shut down. Each entry below says how the tool finds your apps, what it automates, what it costs if the vendor publishes a price, and who should skip it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<dl class=\"ok-stats ok-wide\"><div

If you sign with any of them, ask how you export your app, usage and contract history.<\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-saas-management-software-does\">What SaaS management software does<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SaaS itself is software you rent and use over the internet instead of installing it, such as Slack, Zoom, Salesforce or QuickBooks Online, and most companies run many of them at once. A SaaS management platform (SMP) is the system of record for those subscriptions. It answers four questions IT gets asked every week: which apps do we have, who uses them, what do they cost, and who still has access after leaving. The products in this list do some or all of the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Discovery.<\/strong> It finds apps, including shadow IT that nobody bought through IT, from your identity provider, finance data, a browser extension, device agents or direct API integrations.<\/li><li><strong>License optimization.<\/strong> It compares paid seats with real logins and flags or reclaims unused licenses after a threshold you set, such as 30, 60 or 90 days without activity.<\/li><li><strong>Renewals and contracts.<\/strong> It keeps a renewal calendar, reads contract terms such as notice periods and auto-renew clauses, and alerts the app owner before the deadline.<\/li><li><strong>Onboarding and offboarding.<\/strong> It grants and removes app access when someone joins, changes roles or leaves, either natively or by handing the change to your identity provider.<\/li><li><strong>Access reviews.<\/strong> It asks app owners to confirm who should keep access and keeps the evidence for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The category overlaps with two others, and buyers often mix them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Software type<\/th><th>Main question it answers<\/th><th>Examples<\/th><th>Where it stops<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>SaaS management platform<\/td><td>Which SaaS apps do we use, who uses them and what do they cost?<\/td><td>Torii, Zylo, BetterCloud, Zluri<\/td><td>Rarely covers laptops, on-prem software or privileged admin sessions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Identity governance (IGA)<\/td><td>Who should have access to what, and can we prove it?<\/td><td>Josys, Zluri's IGA module, Lumos<\/td><td>Light on spend, contracts and renewals<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IT asset management<\/td><td>What hardware and installed software do we own?<\/td><td>Lansweeper, Snipe-IT, NinjaOne<\/td><td>Sees SaaS only as a license line, not usage<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If laptops and installed software are your bigger gap, our guide to <a href=\"\/blog\/it-asset-management-software\/\">IT asset management software<\/a> covers that side.

Each source misses something, so vendors stack several instead of relying on one. Ask every vendor which ones it uses, because the list decides how much shadow IT you'll actually see. If you're still choosing the identity provider itself, our <a href=\"\/blog\/okta-vs-microsoft-entra-id\/\">Okta vs Microsoft Entra ID comparison<\/a> covers that decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Discovery source<\/th><th>What it finds<\/th><th>What it misses<\/th><th>Tools here that use it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Identity provider and SSO logs (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace)<\/td><td>Every app behind single sign-on, plus apps people log into with Google or Microsoft accounts<\/td><td>Apps with their own username and password, and personal sign-ups<\/td><td>Every tool here except Cledara, which uses Okta and Google only for sign-in<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Finance, expense and card data<\/td><td>Anything someone pays for, including on a personal card that's expensed<\/td><td>Free and freemium apps, and paid seats nobody uses<\/td><td>Cledara, Zylo, Torii, Zluri, BetterCloud, CloudEagle, 1Password SaaS Manager<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Browser extension<\/td><td>Logins and time spent in web apps, including apps outside SSO<\/td><td>Desktop apps, and browsers where the extension isn't installed<\/td><td>JumpCloud, Cledara, BetterCloud, Torii, Zluri, 1Password SaaS Manager, Josys<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Device agent or MDM data<\/td><td>Installed desktop apps and usage on managed laptops<\/td><td>Unmanaged and personal devices<\/td><td>JumpCloud, Torii, Zluri, 1Password SaaS Manager<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Direct API integrations<\/td><td>Accounts, license types and last activity inside each connected app<\/td><td>Apps without an API connector<\/td><td>Every tool, with very different counts: from 200+ at Torii to 500+ at CloudEagle, per each vendor's own pages<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"ok-callout ok-callout--tip\"><p><strong>Tell employees before you roll out a browser extension<\/strong> Browser discovery is the most effective way to find apps outside SSO, and it's also the part employees notice. Check what the extension collects before deployment. Cledara's Chrome Web Store listing says only matches against its list of SaaS providers leave the device, and JumpCloud lets you choose domain and user tracking settings. Publish a short note on what's tracked and why.<\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-we-chose-these-tools\">How we chose these tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We picked tools for IT teams of 1 to 10 people and for MSPs that run IT for small companies, then checked every fact on the vendor's pricing, product and documentation pages and on G2.

Yet the accounts that cause the most audit findings often aren't people. Service accounts in Active Directory or Entra ID, API tokens behind integrations, OAuth apps that someone connected years ago and AI agents with production access all keep running after their creator leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some tools here have started to list these. Torii, Zluri and CloudEagle inventory service accounts and tokens from connected apps, Josys includes service accounts in access reviews, and JumpCloud shows Google Workspace OAuth grants. But they only see what flows through their integrations. A backup service account in on-prem Active Directory, a reporting login in SQL Server or an IAM user in AWS usually sits outside a SaaS inventory, and an auditor will still ask who owns it and why it exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For admin accounts that need vaulting and session control, that's a <a href=\"\/blog\/privileged-access-management-software\/\">privileged access management<\/a> job. For the ownership question itself, a lightweight review tool is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"ok-product ok-wide\" id=\"the-it-lead\"><span class=\"ok-fav ok-fav--md ok-fav--ours\"><img src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/opskit\/fav\/itl.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/span><div><p class=\"ok-product__eyebrow\">What these tools don&#x27;t answer<\/p><p class=\"ok-product__head\">Know who owns every service account, and when it was last reviewed.<\/p><p>The IT Lead imports service accounts from CSV, nominates owners, collects their attestations and keeps a review trail an auditor can follow.

Most tools also flag unused licenses and shadow IT, and some run onboarding, offboarding and access reviews across apps.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the difference between a SaaS management platform and identity governance?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A SaaS management platform focuses on apps, usage, spend and renewals. Identity governance focuses on who should have access and on proving it with access reviews. Tools such as Zluri, Josys and 1Password SaaS Manager do both, while Zylo and Cledara stay on the spend side.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How much does SaaS management software cost?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>SaaS management software is mostly sold by quote. BetterCloud offers a $0 Spend Optimization Basic tier, JumpCloud lists SaaS License Management at $3 per user per month but needs Platform Prime for discovery, and Cledara publishes GBP prices. Vendr's buyer data shows a median of about $32,000 a year for Torii and $36,000 for Zylo.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Do I need a browser extension for SaaS discovery?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You need one if you want to find apps that never pass through your identity provider, such as tools people signed up for with a work email and password. Identity provider and finance data find most paid and SSO apps, and the extension adds the rest from managed browsers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Which SaaS management tool is best for a small IT team?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you already run JumpCloud, start with its SaaS Management module. If spend and renewals are the main problem, Cledara is built for companies of 25 to 150 people. For onboarding and offboarding automation, BetterCloud has a free tier to start, and Josys offers a 14-day trial and a free health check for 5 apps.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SaaS management software compared for small IT teams: nine tools, how each finds your apps, published prices, 2026 ownership changes and who should skip it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80,"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54\/revisions\/80"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theitlead.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
