Sastrify (AF Score 65) and Tropic (AF Score 74) are two of the most cross-shopped procurement platforms in our directory. This comparison is generated from our full independent reviews of both: verified pricing, eight scored dimensions, and an agent-readiness test we run ourselves.
The verdict at a glance
Tropic scores higher overall (74 to 65), but the right pick depends on what you weight.
Sastrify. Sastrify, owned by Deel since spring 2026 and still sold on its own, discovers SaaS subscriptions from identity provider, browser and ERP data, tracks usage and renewals, and adds price benchmarks and hired negotiators for European mid-market IT, finance and procurement teams.
Tropic is SaaS and AI procurement for US scale-up and mid-market finance teams: price benchmarks from what Tropic says is $23 billion in managed spend, plus renewal and quote-review agents, on a headcount-priced subscription; intake and expert-run negotiations are add-ons.

Pick Sastrify if

- IT and procurement teams facing DORA, NIS2 or EU AI Act vendor reviews that need one register of tools, certificates and app risk scores.
- Companies already on Deel for payroll or Deel IT that want software spend handled inside the same corporate group, accepting that Deel had published no Deel IT software spend features as of 27 September 2026.
Pick Tropic if
- A finance-led US scale-up with no procurement hire that wants benchmarks for every SaaS renewal and experts who can run the largest negotiations.
- Teams with committed spend at OpenAI, Anthropic or Cursor that need daily tracking of consumption against the commitment before renewal.
- Procurement and finance teams already working in Claude or ChatGPT that want benchmarks, playbooks and contract search inside the assistant.
