How is Resubly different from a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet does not alert you before a notice window closes, does not track who owns each subscription, and does not give Finance, IT, and Ops a single shared view. Resubly is purpose-built for SaaS renewals: one record per subscription, one owner, one deadline, and alerts before the vendor has all the leverage.

Does Resubly charge per seat?

No. Resubly is $99 per month flat for the whole team. There are no per-seat fees when you add Finance, IT, Ops, or department owners.

Who is Resubly built for?

Finance and Ops teams at 20 to 500 person companies who need renewal control without an enterprise procurement rollout. It is the right fit when SaaS spend is scattered across owners and tools, and a single missed notice window has already cost real money.

What does Resubly track?

Every SaaS subscription, its notice window, its renewal date, its contract owner, the legal terms, and the documents (MSA, order form, invoices). Alerts fire before notice deadlines, not after the renewal invoice arrives.
