Zylo

Zylo was founded in Indianapolis in 2016 by Eric Christopher and Ben Pippenger, who had spent years in enterprise software and B2B sales seeing the same problem everywhere: SaaS spending spiraled out of control, teams bought tools without governance, and no one had a complete view of contracts, usage, and renewals. The insight was that SaaS management should become a standalone software category, not a spreadsheet held together by finance and procurement. The aha moment came from realizing shadow IT isn't an exception—it's the norm in modern companies. Zylo launched as a visibility and control platform for software spending, built around the proliferation of subscriptions.

Zylo is a SaaS management platform that helps companies monitor and optimize software spending. Pricing is by quote and based on number of employees, number of managed applications, and required features. It offers Discovery, Optimization, and Enterprise plans with annual costs and implementation costs. Customers pay annual subscriptions that scale with organization size, with optional onboarding and consulting services.
