What's up, Product Hunt 👋! Zac from Vendr here—couldn't be more excited to officially get the world up to speed on our new product Bids that's been underway for months…
After processing billions in spend working with thousands of companies to save hundreds of millions on software, we wanted to solve one of the biggest problems buyers face: getting software enterprise pricing without any back and forth.

Can't wait to hear what you all think! Thank you 🙏!!
@nermin_zejnilovic oh, great question.
Short answer - Not currently on our roadmap.
Long answer - Maybe? Vendr's bread and butter is SaaS but our procurement software (https://www.vendr.com/products/p...) works for anything. So we definitely have good experience helping users with non-SaaS. We just don't have as large of a catalog with as rich of data on non-SaaS so I think it would be harder for us to materially help buyers and sellers in the short term.
With that being said, would love to hear more about what use cases you are thinking about. We adjust our roadmap based on customer needs all the time. Let me know if that answers your question or if I can clarify more.
@nermin_zejnilovic Gotcha. That's helpful to hear the use case. I'll add this feedback to our roadmap. We have heard this from a few folks so far and I'm definitely curious to see if we hear it more.
In the short term, if you do need any help with this, feel free to let us know. Even if Vendr Bids cannot help immediately, benefit of Vendr being 5+ years old and literally processing billions for customers, we have plenty of experience and might be able to point in the right direction.
@shivam_tiwari24 thanks for the kind words + support. Our mission at Vendr is to fix sales. We've spent the last 5 years improving how buyers and sellers procure software and have some great numbers proving our success at that. We are very excited by this initial launch of Vendr Bids since getting competitive offers is something we always talk about. There is still a ton left for us to do but excited for the current traction and the future. If you have any other future questions, please let us know!
@nermin_zejnilovic what other products/services would you consider using Bids for? Would love to learn and see if others in the community feel the same.
Congrats on the launch! Skipping sales calls sounds amazing (we need this for car buying as well 😅)!
Q: Do you see any price quote differences between those looking to replace an existing service vs those looking to make a new purchase? Or are they typically in the same ballpark?
@ryangilbert Thanks!
Yeah, the anonymous for buyers is a really interesting point that, candidly, we've debated a lot about. In some instances it can be better for the buyer to share their organization and that will actually lead to a better outcome but that can also lead to being forever being pinged by sales teams just to know a price.
Re. your question, replacements tend to get a more 'precise' price because SaaS competitors tend to have a pretty good understanding of each other. Your switching from one software over to a competitor, if you provide the basic services you are already using, unhappy with, and user count the competitor can pretty quickly give you a better price if they want that deal. New purchases definitely have more negotiating power vs just a flat renewal though.
Hope that answers your question! Buying & Selling SaaS is such a nuances thing, which is why Vendr has an amazing team of SaaS Consultants to literally help answer these questions for customers.
Really cool! Congrats on the launch! Just wanted to test and see alternatives for ActiveCampaign but haven’t found it in the list. How do you guys add new services?
@pixelpirat
- on https://bids.vendr.com
- click the blue "Replace" button
- then start searching in that list, if it doesn't show up you'll get a little prompt to request any product
At that point, we get notified and will work to ensure that ActiveCampaign and their competitors are added to the list and will follow the rules of the marketplace. We purposefully added this constraint because we want to ensure that sellers being added understand the rules and will respond quickly. We are constantly working to expand the list in there and apologize if we are missing anything in the short term. @jmerk0110 helps lead up the seller relations for Vendr Bids and can add additional context.
If you have any other products you are thinking of buying or replacing, then hopefully they are in there and we can get you some initial bids going.
Hope that answers your question! Please let us know if you have any others!
Thanks @pixelpirat and appreciate your support! To Zach's point, we added this constraint in to the initial launch to ensure we can turn offers around quickly. We'll continue to add suppliers and additional categories fairly consistently moving forward. Please submit which products you'd like to see and we can get them added ASAP!
