Subble vs Zylo

Zylo manages SaaS spend. Subble tracks which paid features each person uses.

Zylo is built for finance, procurement and IT teams managing SaaS spend, and uses finance systems to find apps, including expensed software. For most apps, Zylo's licence view stops at activity: its inactivity rules find licences nobody uses but won't flag someone who logs in every week and doesn't need the tier they're on. Subble shows what each licence costs, then tells you which licences to remove or downgrade and what each change saves. It's cloud based and read-only, with nothing to install. Setup takes about 30 minutes.

Why choose Subble?

Deeper than activity thresholds

Zylo flags licences after a set period of inactivity, such as 90 days. Someone who logs in every week won't trigger that rule, even if they don't use paid features. Subble records which paid features each person uses and what their licence costs, so it can tell you when someone could move to a cheaper tier without disrupting their work.

Every vendor you pay for, including AI

Zylo's 2026 SaaS Management Index found ChatGPT was the most expensed app in its data. Zylo shows what those licences cost, while Subble shows how each person uses them. Subble runs the same analysis on every licence you pay for: Adobe, Atlassian, Salesforce, Zoom, and AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.

Read-only access, with data in Australia

Subble takes about 30 minutes to set up. Every connection is read-only, and your licence and usage data stays in Australia. Zylo is hosted in the United States and needs write access for its reclamation workflows. A typical Zylo implementation takes 8 to 14 weeks.

Pay less for licence analytics

Subble costs less than an enterprise SaaS management platform. Every recommendation to remove or downgrade a licence comes with the saving for that change.

“We expected there would be some wastage, but we didn't know what that might look like. We couldn't size it without a tool.”
- Head of IT at a retail company
